Remote working has transformed the way we think about our work environments, enabling a blend of productivity and adventure known as the 'workation'. A recent study by a hybrid working company has unveiled the top global cities for digital nomads, with Tokyo leading the pack, thanks to its fast internet, safety, and digital nomad visa options.
Why Tokyo Tops the List
Tokyo's appeal isn't just its bustling city life but also its proximity to mountains, coasts, and national parks, making it a paradise for those seeking a balance between work and leisure. The city's transport infrastructure and cultural richness further cement its position as the ideal workcation spot.
Sydney and Melbourne Make the Cut
While Sydney and Melbourne rank lower on the global list, they stand out as Australia's top choices for workcations. Sydney, with its iconic beaches and vibrant city life, narrowly beats Melbourne, offering a unique blend of urban convenience and natural beauty.
The Rise of the Digital Nomad
Mark Dixon, CEO of IWG, highlights the growing trend of workers extending holidays to work remotely, thanks to hybrid working and cloud technology. This shift is redefining work-life balance, with 60% of hybrid workers more inclined to work remotely from holiday destinations than last year.
