Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta are not typical people form their time, or so I assume. Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta (especially him) travelled all over Asia, parts of Europe, and parts of Africa. Most people did trade, but it wasn't all over the place like how they did. They just went to one place then back, not everywhere in the world.
For our time, however, Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta's travels would be considered normal. People today can go wherever they want, no matter how far, and it doesn't look suspicious; it's normal to travel everywhere. Buisness people have to travel for work, and many other people travel for work, for pleasure, and for a vacation.
