The pandemic has dramatically accelerated the shift to remote work and the majority of employees are happy to abandon the office. With a country estate, loneliness-beating coworking community, best-in-class amenities, and a packed events calendar, Birch could spell the future of bleisure.

As a result of the pandemic, the travel industry is introducing new ways for people to travel and feel safe. Airbnb implemented 100 changes in May 2021 to adapt its platform to fit customers who are tethered by work but still want to travel to new places and stay for longer once there.

The coronavirus pandemic has brought about the mass-adoption of remote working, but not everyone is working from home. As travel restrictions lift, a number of people are taking advantage of their newfound flexibility and living the WFH life in far-flung parts of the globe.

The pandemic sparked new ways of working and traveling, empowering many people to think about living somewhere else and embracing remote work. In a response to these shifts, Airbnb is offering coupons to those considering a relocation, helping them to try before they buy.
