Coworking and Coliving: The Attraction for Digital Nomad Tourists

Abstract

The study facilitates digital nomadism for tourism research and recognizes a unique product offer on the market: the combined coworking and coliving space in compelling or exotic destinations. The aim of the study is to explore the experience of coworking and coliving by digital nomads and identify valuable elements. Qualitative interview data are used to analyse combined coworking and coliving space environments from the perspective of digital nomad tourists. A better understanding of digital nomad preferences may help destinations and business owners to attract digital nomads during and after the pandemic. The study’s findings, perceived advantages and disadvantages of coworking and coliving spaces, may serve as a guideline for targeting digital nomads.

Nomadlıst de Dijital Göçebeler Tarafından 2020 de En Fazla Tercih Edilen Destinasyonların Destinasyon Seçim Kriterlerine Göre Kümelendirilmesi

“…Özellikle bu kapsamda, kendini "dijital göçebe" olarak tanımlayan bireylere atıfta bulunmaktadır (Reichenberger, 2017: 1). Dijital göçebe kavramı her ne kadar ilk olarak 1997 yılında kullanılsa da (Makimoto ve Manners, 1997), dijital göçebelerin turizm alanı açısından ele alınması çok yenidir (Putra ve Agirachman, 2016;Pecsek, 2018;Hall vd., 2019;Orel, 2019;Cook, 2020;Wiranatha vd., 2020;von Zumbusch ve Lalicic, 2020;Prabawa ve Pertiwi, 2020;Hermann ve Paris, 2020;Chevtaeva, 2021).…”

“…Dijital göçebeler, uzaktan çalışmalarına ve seyahat etmelerine imkân tanıyan, konumdan bağımsız, teknolojinin etkin olduğu bir yaşam tarzını benimseyen kişilerdir. Dünya çapında çok sayıda ortak çalışma alanı yaratan destinasyonlar, dijital göçebeleri cezbetmektedir (Chevtaeva, 2021). Estonya, Bermuda, Gürcistan, Barbados, Dubai, Hırvatistan ve Türkiye gibi birçok destinasyonun üst düzey yöneticileri tarafından yapılan açıklamalar dijital göçebe turizminin 2020 salgın krizinden sonra uzaktan çalışanlar için cazip bir vize politikası getirerek ekonomiyi yeniden başlatma potansiyelini öngörmektedir.…”

Travel While Working Remotely: A Topological Data Analysis of Well-Being in Remote Work Trip Experiences

“…This can potentially be explained by the fact that remote workers are more attached to their daily life/ routine and engage less in continuous travel as traditional digital nomads do. Thus, the value of collective spaces and events, usually identified as key for digital nomads (Chevtaeva, 2021), may be less meaningful during remote work trips. Practitioners may have more opportunities to develop individual solo experiences for travelers and focus on the provision of required amenities to guarantee a smooth workday experience.…”

Competitiveness of cities in the post-pandemic time: The perspectives of residents and tourists

“…The external user group of coworking spaces should be called digital nomads -people who use modern technologies and devices to carry out work and communicate with others, changing the place of accommodation or stay for tourist, recreational, or cognitive purposes (Fuchs and Sandoval, 2014). Coworking spaces have many advantages from the perspective of people working remotelythey increase the productivity of the work performed, foster building social bonds, do not require long-term obligations (Chevtaeva, 2021), and provide comfortable, high-class equipment. The coronavirus pandemic has significantly accelerated the transition from stationary to remote work in many places through government orders to isolate and minimize movement.…”
