“…The millennials who are beginning to work, start to break the regular working style, which requires 8 hours of working every day, 5 days a week. Based on the data, in Europe and America only, more than 42% of millennial workers are going on vacations regularly to reduce their stress, while 34% of millennial workers are trying to find something new to explore (Sofronov, 2018). The millennial workers' holiday expectation is relatively high, but most of them are restricted by their employment contracts, then the digital nomad movement is one of their alternative ways to work without depending on the employment contract (European Commission, 2016).…”

Digital Nomad can be described by the person who combining work and leisure activities, without geographical border. The digital nomad lifestyle is becoming trends after an American tourist, Kristen Gray becoming viral on the Twitter Platform, she promoting Bali as a heaven for the digital nomad because of the low cost of living and cultural openness by selling eBook and open consultation services for the people who live in the America and European continents, but then she deported by the Indonesian Immigration Authorities, charged with the misuse of visas (she was used tourism visa for business purposes). Then, the research question arises, Are there potential gentrification effects of digital nomad lifestyle to the local people? And what the government should do to tackle this issue? This research is conducted by analyzing tweets using #kristengray and #digitalnomad hashtag, obtained from 12 January to 12 March 2021. The results are more than 49 percent of users, which dominated by the foreigner is defending Kristen Gray, and forcing the Indonesian Government to open Bali as digital nomad living places, but 51 percent of users, who dominated by Indonesian is refusing what the Kristen Gray doing, by arguing if Bali is purely just for tourism places. The results are the gentrification potentially happening between the digital nomad and local people, because of the difference in economic level, culture and value. Then, the government should consider making a policy to minimize the effects of gentrification resulted in digital nomad activities, suggested opening special visas with the restriction and tax policy for the digital nomad.

The aim of this study is to assess the impacts caused by COVID-19 in the tourism sector in Tanzania. Two major sources of data which was collected between March and May 2020 was social media and literature. COVID-19 led to lack of international visitors which directly affected the level of tourism activity and in some cases closure of businesses in the sector. Loss of business forced establishments to lay off part of its workforce and those who could be retained had to accept salary and wage cuts. Similarly, public institutions experienced significant reduction in tourism revenue. One of the major effects of this was a loss of their capacity to invest in product development, the initiative which had gained momentum in 2019. With limited spending power, future travellers are likely to be highly cost-sensitive, meaning that, high-cost destinations, such as long-haul destinations in Sub Sahara, shall be mostly affected. Despite the negative impacts, COVID-19 has triggered positive changes in destinations. With the shrinking size of inbound markets, industry operators have developed an unprecedented interest in domestic markets. On the other hand, the pandemic has helped players from public and private sectors to commit towards a common goal.
