Exchange and mutual learning will allow the more advanced partners to further develop their policy tools. For those less advanced, exchange and learning will inspire new actions & visions, leading to the improvement of existing policy tools.
Digital nomads are skilled professionals of high added value sectors who can work digitally from anywhere. They usually seek places suitable to their lifestyles, with good internet connections, quality of life, affordable prices, a well-preserved natural environment, and access to local culture. Attracting DN to the territories will bring a number of benefits such as the provision of high-quality skills and talent in areas which are currently lacking, strengthening proximity services, and they can be an opportunity to prescribe new areas to explore in terms of sustainable tourism.
The project aims at promoting DNs as desirable figures for territorial development, establishing the objective of increasing their presence by 30% in each of the partner territories by 2028, thanks to the project findings.
