Remote working on an island is the latest trend - and these countries have set up programs to accommodate it
In the new world of work, there’s a new type of employee: The business-leisure traveller.
Abraham now runs Outpost, a company that provides temporary living-working spaces in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. The resort features large communal spaces and workstations, ready to accommodate the new cohort of business-leisure travellers. Most days, the Internet is stable enough too. “You don’t want to just be hoping for the best when it comes to your visa status,” said Despin. “You want to know what the rules are.” Colleagues of his have left Indonesia for Mexico, Portugal and neighbouring Thailand, where immigration and tax laws are more supportive and clearer.
The country has several plus points for longer-term visitors who also plan to work, according to tourism minister Phipat Ratchakitprakarn. “The Internet in Bangkok and in many big cities is fast,” he said, while Thailand also offers “service and atmosphere” and a relatively low cost of living.The next round of tax changes can’t come soon enough for the country’s still-struggling hospitality industry.
Yet many business leaders are accepting what their human resources departments already know: Most employers will be forced to keep up with the times.
