Families traveling together in Greece may opt for remote work in the future, and coworking spaces are likely to become the next big trend in travel and hospitality.

Benefits of remote work

Remote working has grown in popularity during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Offices have closed and many of their employees have found themselves confined to their homes or confined to foreign countries, forced to perform their duties remotely. When COVID-19 restrictions eased, some workers returned to their desks, while others still prefer to work remotely, encouraged even by their employers who see intrinsic benefits in such arrangements:

  • reduce the costs of parking, coffee, snacks, office parties, commuting or public transport for employees, office clothing, utilities, maintenance, cleaning, furniture, etc.
  • lower rental costs for offices: employees can work from anywhere in the world;
  • promote a better work-life balance for employees, allowing them to plan their professional and domestic tasks at their own pace in a stress-free environment;
  • expand the talent pool by employing workers otherwise unavailable to relocate;
  • increase productivity by reducing commute time, coffee breaks and eliminating delays;
  • increase employee loyalty and retention by trusting them to do their jobs responsibly, even when working remotely;
  • get rid of politics and uncomfortable office confrontations, gossip, harassment and other negative situations that overshadow the office environment.

The list of benefits can also include better communication and collaboration, reduced absenteeism, and happier employees who will become good advocates for the company.

Employees enjoy similar benefits when working remotely:

  • spend less on commuting, travel, lunches, snacks, office clothes and even childcare;
  • find more flexibility in planning their professional and family life;
  • like to work in a comfortable and familiar environment – set up a personalized home office or work from any room in the house;
  • save time by eliminating long commutes;
  • escape localization constraints: work from anywhere with a good Internet connection;
  • reduce stress and improve mental health by eliminating stressful office policies, noise and other difficult situations.

Indeed, remote working is not limited to home offices. Employees can choose any location in any destination in the world to feel comfortable and get their jobs done.

This kind of flexibility is already defining the travel and work trends of tomorrow. Next summer, we’ll likely see families choosing destinations that have all the conditions necessary to live, work and relax together.

Hotels already offer extended stays and in-room work facilities, such as high-speed Wi-Fi, free phone calls, desks, lamps, fully-equipped kitchenettes, and other amenities to encourage workers to distance to reserve. However, beyond the typical hotels that adapt, there are new initiatives to consider as the next big thing in travel: coworking spaces in tourist areas.

Forecast: Coworking spaces in Greece

With smart marketing, flexible planning and offerings for domestic and foreign clients, coworking space providers in Greece will bridge a much needed gap between business and leisure travel.

Before COVID-19, remote working was mainly favored by digital nomads and freelancers. However, with COVID-19, medium and large businesses have found unexpected benefits in giving their employees more flexibility and choice of workspace. Remote working is no longer limited to home offices – it’s a choice of destination that benefits mental health and the family as a whole.

Family comes – as has always been supposed to – first. More and more people will choose extended stays for the summer holidays in Greece while demanding good working conditions. Hotels must comply with it. Coworking spaces will provide the right environment and facilities similar to those once available in traditional offices. The most with coworking spaces is the community: the feeling of loneliness thus rendered irrelevant.

Greece will always remain an attractive travel destination. Coworking space is just another avenue that will potentially generate off-season income as well. Adopting this trend could also demonstrate the country’s commitment to meeting the needs and expectations of travelers with professionalism and balance.
