Don't forget to subscribe! Where will your next adventure take you? Today on The Accommodation Show, our next adventure leads us to find the perfect work-life balance as we explore coworking accommodation spaces. 🧘 With location independent jobs on the rise, particularly in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, more people are finding themselves free from the restraints of a 9-5 desk job and can design their lives based on new paradigms. Co-living and co-working and by extension co-adventuring are expected to see continued expansion in the coming years from the growing population of digital nomads, as well as young professionals seeking a lower cost of traveling and a sense of camaraderie during this era of isolation. Just as the way we work has changed irreversibly, so too has how people travel! Being able to set up a desk anywhere in the world has led to an increase in hybrid travel as people begin to mix leisure with work. With this new market trend, there are also opportunities for our industry to profit. In today’s episode of The Accommodation Show, we talk to an accomplished, forward-thinking, experience-driven, visionary, Dean Leibowitz, who is the Destination Director at Selina. He tells us how he is witnessing the integration of coworking and flexible working spaces into the hospitality sector. He also shares how the Selina concept works, what Selina has to offer, how Selina is redefining travel, and some of the unique ways they’re using their workspaces to create a community.
