The trend of remote workers and digital nomads has been on rise over the last 5 years, but accelerated dramatically due to the pandemic.
Many islands have made headlines by launching exclusive programs to attract this new type of traveller, but in many ways the needs of these new visitors are completely different to ‘traditional’ tourists.
This virtual session features presentations from speakers representing destinations across the world that have the potential to adapt their economies through the substantial global growth in remote work, including ways in which these destinations are actively engaged in attracting remote workers.
This discussion will cover not only the opportunity for tapping into this new market but also how to create lasting economic opportunities beyond tourism for local people. Panellists include destination marketers, community organisers and digital nomads to give a variety of perspectives on this sometimes misunderstood sector.
Island Innovation is hosting a discussion to tackle the myths and realities of “digital nomads” and highlight some of the true opportunities arising from the changing workplace. This virtual session features presentations from speakers representing destinations across the world that have the potential to adapt their economies through the substantial global growth in remote work, including ways in which these destinations are actively engaged in attracting remote workers.
It is recommended that you sign-up for this webinar if you are either: from a destination that is looking for advice on how to cater for this new and growing market and want to find out how remote workers can benefit your destination, or if you want to learn more about becoming a remote worker yourself and the steps you should take to make this change.
