“The pandemic-induced rise of the ‘New Digital Nomads’ has transformed the housing landscape, placing a premium on furnished temporary and corporate housing. As these nomadic workers continue to shape the way people work and live, businesses and governments must adapt their unique needs and preferences. By embracing technology, catering to the demand for flexibility, and striking a balance between accommodating digital nomads and protecting local housing markets, society can navigate this transformative era and create a more inclusive and agile housing infrastructure for the future.”
Well said Issac!
