The Future of Travel

What’s new this week with the future of travel? Certainly, a lot changes every day. So like to keep you up to date with what happening not only with travel but the business that affects travellers. Mark is the founder of Nomad Stays and an award-winning businessman in the travel industry. He’s always interested in global business, so he shares some great insights with you in his updates. He’s an Australian Based in France because that is where the biggest numbers of tourism are, with 80 million visitors per year travelling to France per year. That was before COVID, however, compared to Australia; the numbers are huge, so it is best to be where your market is most active. So here we are!

#Workfromanywhere

So where are you working today since you can work from anywhere?

Last week we did a podcast with a founder from the USA, and it was interesting to hear that as he rapidly grows his company, they quickly implemented a FAST Flex work agreement so that their team could work from anywhere. This is just one example of what the future looks like for tech businesses. No longer needing to have a physical place to have their staff.

Fortunately, today we have platforms to help us keep teams stay connected, and instant messaging is the new norm as is platforms like Slack, WhatsApp and Telegram, Signal, zoom. Whereby etc. and the rest as the list goes on and on as all these innovations help us stay connected. Now more than ever, it is easy to build global teams.

The slow traveller’s movement

As a new slow travel movement emerges Yoann the host of International Consulting Podcast talks with Mark Phillips the Founder of Nomad Stays and a glob trotting digital nomad, Chartered accountant and serial entrepreneur chat about the trends of slow travel becoming the conscious traveller’s way.

As remote teams become the norm Mark shares how he manages a team of freelancers working with us from Serbia, Thailand, Russia, Germany and France, and we are fortunate to have them all. As Nomad Stays grows, the team grows with us. Most of our team members are digital nomads, and we are always on the lookout for new talent to help us grow.

Mark recently spoke with Yoann about the new wave of longer stays and the shift in the market to allow for more affordable longer stays.
