Digital nomads and new business opportunities for residential destinations, under discussion at the Torrevieja university headquarters

The webinar will feature three speakers: Carlos Jonay, digital projects consultant and co-founder of Pueblos remotos; David Blay, director of Communication Simplr and co-founder of Escuela Trabajo Remotos; and Pablo Torres, hotel consultant and coordinator of the course that, with the same central theme, will teach the headquarters from next February. The organizers explain that “more and more professionals have the option of working remotely. There are those who choose a new destination permanently. Others, however, prefer to change their destination from time to time. They are the so-called digital nomads ”. The webinar will address how Spain prepares changes in legislation to facilitate the settlement of digital nomads, so "now is the perfect time to start considering how to attract this type of profiles, usually with high purchasing power, to our destinations" .
