As the world went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, people worldwide started to experience a ‘new normal.’ This ‘new normal’ has normalized remote-working and resulted in the mainstream adoption of technologies to support virtual collaboration, communication, and work from a distance. While the COVID19 pandemic resulted in the restriction of mobility as borders were closed, airlines grounded, and daily commutes limited, visions of a potential future of ‘remote-life’ started to take shape. As professionals (and employers) around the world start to realize that they are no longer physically secured to their desks, offices, or work stations, they may now start to consider a future where they are remote-working from ‘exotic’ locations, often with lower costs of living (Phuket, Bali, or Costa Rica?) instead of working from ‘home.’ Companies around the world have extended their remote-working policies, implemented due to COVID, through 2021 and beyond, and are starting to consider a broader shift towards remote (or hybrid) workforce models as a means for reducing overhead costs while supporting employee productivity and wellbeing. The impacts of the COVID pandemic have rippled throughout the tourism industry. Even as the industry starts a long road to recovery, there will likely be lasting impacts. Business travel has been disrupted and will likely evolve in its post-COVID form, particularly with the ‘remote’ alternative and likely increase in travel costs (at least in the short term). Companies dependent on business travelers (particularly in the accommodation sector) will need to evolve as well. With travel restrictions in place and regulations frequently changing for entry/exit procedures (quarantining, COVID testing, etc.), most destination countries face a long road to recover to

数字游牧：远程办公和出行的联系

随着世界因COVID-19大流行爆发而陷入封锁，世界各地的人们开始经历“新常态”。这种“新常态”已经规范了远程工作，并导致了主流技术的采用，以支持远距离的虚拟协作，通信和工作。当COVID19大流行导致边境关闭，航空公司停飞和每日通勤受到限制时，行动不便，但对“远程生活”的潜在未来的看法开始成形。随着世界各地的专业人员（和雇主）开始意识到他们已经不再安全地固定在办公桌，办公室或工作站上，他们现在可能开始考虑一个未来，他们通常会从“异国情调”的位置进行远程工作生活成本较低（普吉岛，巴厘岛或哥斯达黎加？），而不是在家中工作。'全球公司已将其因COVID而实施的远程工作政策扩展到2021年及以后，并开始考虑向远程（或混合）劳动力模型进行更广泛的转变，以此作为降低间接成本同时支持员工生产力的一种手段。和幸福。COVID大流行的影响已波及整个旅游业。即使该行业开始了漫长的复苏之路，也可能会产生持久的影响。商务旅行已被打乱，并且可能会以COVID后的形式发展，尤其是采用“远程”替代方式时，旅行成本可能会增加（至少在短期内如此）。依赖商务旅行者（尤其是住宿行业）的公司也需要发展。
