Is teleworking a new tourist option? How to turn your Airbnb into a perfect destination for those who travel for work?
Vacation rentals tend to focus on a specific type of tourist, the leisure traveler, the one traveling as a family, or as a couple, but a very important type of traveler, the business traveler, has been neglected. Yes, we know that those who travel for business are perhaps not as attractive as those who travel for leisure, why? Simply because their stays are usually shorter. But there is something we must tell you and that is that with the pandemic, digital nomads (as they are known) have increased exponentially. It is the era of technology and although we are talking about teleworking, working from home, with the pandemic something very curious has occurred: choosing vacation accommodation to work.
With this in mind, there are many workers who have considered a change of scenery during a season now that they do not need to go to the office, what better than to combine a pleasant environment while working.
