WEBINAR
Why people participated in this webinar
The trend of remote workers and digital nomads was on rise over the last 5 years, but has accelerated dramatically due to the pandemic. 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 covers not only the opportunity for tapping into this new market but also how to create lasting economic opportunities beyond tourism for local people. Panelists include destination marketers, community organisers and digital nomads to give a variety of perspectives on this sometimes misunderstood sector.
We highly recommend watching the replay 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.
