Digital Nomads Observatory studies and promotes the work culture of the future, where well-being, skilled work, and travel create a new productive lifestyle.

In the context of the convergence of the goals and the vision of these two bodies, it was decided our cooperation in the following critical pillars:

• Common informative activities on the way of life of Digital Nomads in the context of a globalized society.
• Develop a framework to measure and highlight the economic and social benefits that result from hosting digital nomads on a small island like Naxos

In his speech, the Minister of Tourism referred to the Greek Government’s efforts to attract digital nomads, saying that the pandemic accelerated developments. He also said that “working from home is now part of our daily lives, and many businesses have invested to have that connectivity and integration of remote people who are not in the same space.”

Finally, the Minister referred to the intention of the Ministry of Tourism to support actions and cooperation aimed precisely at attracting digital nomads, while also noting the impact it will have on the internal economy.

A recent study from Stanford University found that remote employees are actually 13% more productive than office workers. At the same time, another survey highlights that almost a quarter (23%) of remote workers are more willing to work overtime to complete tasks.

This part of the population will undoubtedly be a new idiosyncratic “state” whose citizens will develop specific needs either economically or socially. Early recognition of these needs arising from the way of life of digital nomads will lead to their easier understanding by the multi-level world of political decisions and consequently will help the adoption of digital nomadic communities from destinations that are offered and can serve those needs.
