The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for camping information and booking, found that 23.8 percent of US campers say they worked remotely while camping in 2022. That statistic is part of the 2023 Camping Report — but it was identical to the work-from-campsite stat from the prior year. "With return-to-the-office efforts across the country, one might have expected the work-from-campsite rate to decrease, but it stayed level," says Kevin Long, CEO of The Dyrt. "Work from campsite is here to stay. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, and you can't put a productive working camper back in the cubicle." Of the thousands of respondents who took part in the survey, 13.4 percent are categorized as avid campers, meaning they took more than 10 camping trips in 2022. That group was found to be n...

Tourism Minster Sandiaga Uno said in a post on his Instagram account that digital nomads could now visit Indonesia and work for up to six months using a social-cultural visa. "I am increasingly convinced the number of foreign tourists who are interested in staying in Indonesia will increase and will automatically have an impact on economic revival," he said.

Read MoreOn the coast of Lisbon, Cascais, sometimes known as the "Portuguese Riviera," is a charm of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a classic and picturesque Portuguese fishing town that has grown into a significant tourist destination. Cascais is a very lively and cosmopolitan town that still preserves a great deal of its earlier aristocratic atmosphere. With an already well-established expat community for years, Cascais invites remote workers and digital nomads from all over the world to have their next remote meeting with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop.

Read MoreDrawn by sun, sea and speedy Wi-Fi, remote workers are converging on Europe's southernmost islands to try "workcationing" before employers order them back to the office, giving battered tourism businesses a welcome boon. Olga Paul, 34, came to the Spanish island of Gran Canaria in May to work remotely for the first time, after long pandemic months cooped up in her flat in Munich, where she is a business analyst for one of Germany's largest car manufacturers. "I think I'm more productive now," she said, delighted with the sea view from her rooftop, where she goes for breaks. "I can concentrate on my work and explore the islands on the weekends ... it feels great." Olga Paul, a 34-year-old from Germany works remotely from Las Palmas De Gran Canaria, relaxes in hammock, amid the cor...
