The coronavirus pandemic has introduced us to a world of new words and phrases, the latest addition being ‘WORKATION’ or work + vacation. Take a moment to imagine your workspace overlooking the hills in a quaint countryside, you wearing a super-comfy pair of pyjamas, grabbing a cup of hot chocolate or a pitcher of cold beer, simultaneously achieving your professional goals – who wouldn’t want that!
The concept of workation is gaining popularity as working professionals today are exasperated, slogging away in the same corner of their apartments for six months in a row! A change of atmosphere with a relaxed road trip to a picturesque resort, which is easily accessible by a cab – can surely do wonders for their mental health and work productivity! With travel restrictions easing throughout the country and the state governments promoting tourism, people now feel safe to step out of their houses.
Workation ready stays
As the workation trend is slowly gaining momentum, more and more remote workers and freelancers are venturing out to the nearby, drivable scenic destinations. To facilitate a smooth workation experience, travel and tourism companies are offering bi-weekly and monthly workation packages in charming homestays and luxury resorts near metro cities at super affordable tariffs. These stays are not only sanitized regularly, but are also equipped with high-speed internet, unlimited caffeine, a comfortable workspace and fresh cooked local cuisines.
Besides the workation basics, the hotels are also making arrangements for a healthy dose of recreational activities to give you a well-deserved break from work, which include socially-distanced yoga classes, all-night stargazing sesh, bonfire and barbecue nights, pet tours and weekend tours to the isolated locales.
Safe, sanitized commute
With car rentals emerging as the preferred choice of commute to the nearby destinations, some companies have introduced One-way packages which not only provides you safe transportation to your workation destination, but also ensures a charming road trip enroute for the much-needed excursion!
Lockdowns have made corporations and employees realise uninterrupted power supply and high speed internet is all they need to work from anywhere. Consequently, a blissful respite from the mundane 9-to-9 work from home schedule by setting up your workstation at an idyllic homestay amidst the hills seems like a smart, rather sane choice today!
If the mountain won’t come to the workstation, then the workstation must go to the mountain.
