I thought about that not too long ago. So my theory is that it will just be a new expensive method of travel.
Hypothetycally speaking, if we could teleport it would take a while until it became secure enough to qualified people to use and then we would need more time to make it secure for non qualified people. Take a car for example, even thought "everyone can drive a car" you still need to learn about it and new laws, rules and spaces where invented for cars to move.
Also everything would be expensive and not everyone would be able to afford it. Planes were invented 100 years ago and not everyone can afford to fly once a year, let alone when they want. And of course you need qualified people to fly the plane.
That's my take at least. Teleportation if it was invented today, and viable, not killing you during the process of teleport would take at least 100 years to be a commercial way of travel, and it would still be an expensive one.
