The rise of “Workcations”: Blending remote work with travel experiences.

’Workcations’ whereby one combines working and playing is now becoming popular especially with the use of technology. With more people working out of their offices, employed personnel is adopting mobility and using time on the road to work. Rather than waiting until they take a vacation they are carrying their laptops with them to these locations and working and playing at the same time.

This is especially the case since workcations are an example of a trend that changes the approach to work-life balance. Since the employees are working from new places, they can effectively come out of their monotonous working environment while working as per the professional commitments. This trend has been adopted by freelancers, remote workers, and even employers who are providing the employees with work-from-home policies along with giving the chance to come up with new ideas while traveling without compromising the work at hand.

For many, workcations offer the best of both worlds: how flexible one is when it comes to exploring new destinations, experiencing different culture and still being able to work on the project within the stipulated time. But work and travel do not go hand in hand as one needs to have discipline, time in their hand and good gadgets to work while traveling.

With the rise of workcations, hotel and tourist attractions developers have had to factor in appeals to employees with features like internet, freelancing areas and fitness centres. The workcation trend offers an interesting way of altering the approach to both traveling and work since it offers professionals a way of improving their personal and professional lives, hence exploring the world.
