Business-leisure travellers are a subset of digital nomads, living and working abroad for longer than a typical holiday.
It’s the latest attempt to find a happy medium between working arrangements like Airbnb Inc’s – where staff can work anywhere, anytime – and those at companies like Tesla Inc, whose chief executive officer Elon Musk tweeted that unless employees turn up in the office, “we will assume you have resigned.”Business-leisure travellers are a subset of digital nomads, living and working abroad for longer than a typical holiday without taking up permanent residence.
The resort features large communal spaces and work stations, ready to accommodate the new cohort of business-leisure travellers. Most days, the Internet is stable enough too. In April 2021, Indonesia floated the idea of a special five-year visa exempting remote workers from paying local taxes if they don’t earn an income domestically. But there’s no timeline as yet.
Now, in the spirit of targeting more digital nomads and business-leisure travellers, the government has approved tax incentives for long-term visa holders and will lift all remaining Covid-related entry restrictions from July 1. At established firms, chief financial officers often have little appetite for Airbnb-style worker freedom because of tax issues and other liabilities, according to Simon Hayes, director of the Asia CFO Network.
