This episode of Digipreneur FM dives into the transformative rise of digital nomadism. As more individuals rethink their lifestyles, we explore the driving forces behind this movement and why countries are competing to attract digital nomads. The episode highlights how this lifestyle benefits both individuals seeking freedom and adventure and host countries seeking economic and cultural growth. Using Thailand as a case study, we examine why they’ve implemented initiatives like the Destination Thailand Visa and what the Caribbean can learn from this trend.
