What does "privilege" have to do with this conversation? The GP's comment is a prediction about business travel. He made no such prediction about personal travel.

It is for the hotels and airlines. They make most of their profits on business customers who don't have time to count pennies because they have work to do. When I visit family on the other side of the planet the total cost is often times less than the cost of a week long business trip to New York.
There's probably (tens of?) millions of workers around the world separated from their families. It's not only about tourism and business travel.
