To manage the entry and stay of this professional class in these regions, future residents are required to obtain special visas for digital nomads. To attract highly qualified remote workers to their cities and countries, governments have implemented mechanisms for the stay of digital nomads, thereby promoting local economic development. This paper thus investigates the popularisation of digital nomadism and the influence of the digital nomad lifestyle on the work-leisure balance that appears to be affected by the use of coworking spaces. However, the motivational factors behind the usage of local coworking spaces remain unclear, as do the benefits offered by these flexible office environments. Digital nomadism has brought upon a new form of creative tourism (Putra & Agirachman, 2016) that emancipates the involvement of individuals in the creative life of the destination and interaction with local communities by exchanging skill sets and ideas in a synergetic way (Richards & Marques, 2012) by frequently using local coworking spaces. This new type of fluid workforce tends to merge itself with the selected geographic area or environment for a brief period of time, and by that utilising its logistic and digital infrastructure to maintain an individualised lifestyle (Richards, 2015).
Digital nomads represent a modern ‘knowmad’ society (Moravec, 2013), whose boundaries between leisure, travel, and work appear blurred (Reichenberger, 2018).
Individuals in the creative sector often pursue the idea of the location-independent style of living and working (Müller, 2016).
