Since the health crisis, many tourist destinations have been deserted and have seen a downward trend in their attractiveness. To revive their economy and attract more and more tourists from around the world to discover their territory, many countries have launched teleworking visas. These programs allow workers from around the world to come and telework in a destination of their choice.
A pandemic context
Following the covid-19 pandemic, workers found themselves working remotely from their place of residence. Many people still work remotely today and would like to do so in a place that inspires and calms them, far from the hustle and bustle of big cities and public transport. Realizing that they could work remotely without worries through Zoom, Teams or even Skype, teleworkers discovered that they could work from anywhere. Following confinement, households did not have the opportunity to take vacations and some saw their salaries drop. When the borders reopen, business travel has struggled to resume and workers decided to open up to the world and continue to telework by reconnecting with nature.
Advantages
Teleworking from home already brings advantages, in that it allows you to extend the weekend and have a different, more flexible organization of daily life. It also brings trust, through the fact that our manager gives us this opportunity and listens to us about our needs. Travel is a growing trend and many people are attracted to discovering new cultures without spending all their savings. Staying there for a longer period allows you to save money and learn to consume more locally.
With the arrival of the teleworking visa, many employees have been able to follow their desires and become residents of a country while continuing to earn their living. Immersing yourself in a culture, a new way of life for a period of a year helps stimulate your creativity and your curiosity about discovering the world around us. Working in an idyllic setting brings more fulfillment at work, allows comfort not comparable to that of the office and a reconnection with oneself. Improving a foreign language can also be a benefit of working remotely.
The goal is no longer to carry out the most activities in a given time but to adapt over the long term to a new life abroad. Some archipelagos have a high number of islands, as a global worker, you will have time to visit the entirety and even renew this visa if possible. Admiring new landscapes in your free time allows you to no longer put up with your work and learn to disconnect. Attending coworking spaces during these working hours also allows you to meet people in the same situation, who have a nomadic office and wish to discover new horizons.
A tourism revolution
The workers of the world have helped bring about a revolution in the world of tourism. This development makes it possible to revive economies without allowing foreigners to come and work in this country, thus putting locals looking for work at a disadvantage. The travel market is turning a corner and the offering is radically changing. Hotel chains are offering new coworking services, long-term stays at cost price, a stable wifi connection, etc. We are observing an emerging trend in long-term tourism.
To make real estate savings when it comes to office rental, companies are taking the plunge and offering their employees the opportunity to work remotely from any location. Workers care more about their mental health than their current salary. The top destinations concern the countryside or the sea, considered exotic. The worker can live the experience not far from home, to see if they correspond to the profile compatible with remote activity.
Companies have recently emerged offering teleworking stays a few hours from home. This stay allows you to live in community with other teleworkers and find yourself in an exotic and inspiring place. Dedicated companies allow teleworkers to test the digital nomad activity at 100% over 1 month to start. At your own risk, get a taste for it and have to renew your visa for 6 months…
So, we are seeing a new travel trend. Many new services are emerging and current businesses are adapting. Entering the world of work no longer means stopping exploring our world and throwing your bucket list in the trash. It is now possible to combine your passion for travel and a fulfilling professional life.
