Digital nomadism is booming, with countries worldwide embracing remote work. Portugal, with its vibrant culture and Digital Nomad Visa, remains a top choice. Thailand offers stunning beaches and the Smart Visa, while Mexico's relaxed lifestyle attracts many. Spain boasts sunny weather and a new Digital Nomad Visa. Bali, Estonia, Georgia, Dubai, Vietnam, and Colombia also offer unique draws for remote workers.
Meanwhile, the Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO) conducted data training in Kiritimati Islands, supported by New Zealand. This initiative aims to improve data collection and analysis for sustainable tourism. Key stakeholders from government and conservation agencies participated, focusing on research methodologies and survey initiatives like the International Visitor Survey. This will help the islands make informed decisions for long-term benefits to local communities, economic stability, and environmental conservation.
