Airbnb with 'dedicated workspace' amenity. Nomad List to connect with digital nomad communities. Outsite for co-living travelers.
Remote workers are the fastest-growing segment of travelers and they need more than just a bed. Set up a room with a proper desk, ergonomic chair, external monitor, fast WiFi (100+ Mbps), and good lighting for video calls. Market it as a 'work-ready stay.' These guests often book for 1-4 weeks and are quiet, responsible, and self-sufficient. They will pay premium rates for a productive work environment.
🚀 First Step
Run an internet speed test and post the results in your listing — remote workers book based on WiFi quality.
  • List your exact WiFi speed in the title or first line — speed-tested listings get 25% more inquiries from remote workers
  • A second monitor and a ring light for video calls can justify charging $20-40 more per night
  • Offer a 'printer and scanner available' note — it signals to business travelers that you understand their needs
