Why Mexico is one of the favorite places to work for digital nomads

Published August 11th, 2021

Digital nomads are all those who make use of new technologies to work remotely, instead of doing it in the traditional way with a fixed place to develop their work. This trend makes it possible to work from anywhere in Mexico and the world, and with the arrival of the pandemic to the public scene has become even more popular.

Digital nomads have been key to boosting the economy of the tourism sector, thanks to their freedom of movement, where they can also take advantage of vacation during their free time from work. Regarding the age range of these teleworkers ranges between 26 and 25 years, according to data from a Mexican government report.

Likewise, the areas where they tend to develop professionally are design, programming, journalism, consulting, communication, translation, and management of social networks. Similarly, the essential requirements that a place must have to meet the needs of digital nomads range from accommodations that favor rest, to fast and effective access to the Internet.

Health, work, and fun are the main elements requested by digital nomads, who also seek spaces designed specifically for co-working with the best possible atmosphere. “Travelers looking to relax while fulfilling their work remotely in a contemporary space immersed in the serenity of its exquisite location,” the Zade Hospitality team told NotiPress.
It is worth mentioning that this hotel group, in charge of offering this type of experience to local and international travelers, recently presented Downtown Tulum Hotel. This has the ability to provide suitable places to continue working remotely and vacationing at the same time.

Mexico currently has 20 cities in the ranking of popularity for these remote workers, according to a specialized list on the subject. Tulum, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Hermosillo, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Queretaro, and San Miguel de Allende are some of them, thanks to several factors such as climate, tourist diversity, safety, and prices.

In this context, being a digital nomad not only allows freedom of movement, but also the development of new business models such as freelancing and entrepreneurship. According to experts, this new work culture is destined for the professions of the future and in addition to generating money online, schedules are also reduced. This means that the worker saves time, which can be used for other tasks or activities of interest.
