Workation in Ticino

Combining holiday and work harmoniously


In recent years, there has been a significant increase in hybrid forms of work and this also includes the idea of workation, in which work and vacation come together. Thanks to new technologies, it is possible to work from any place: in a hotel room, in a lounge overlooking a lake, in a mountain lodge, or anywhere else you wish. The only basic conditions? A fast and reliable Internet connection and a table on which to place the device used for working.

What are the benefits of workation?


Workation can mean writing work e-mails from a lido or making video calls from your hotel room in the mountains. The idea is very appealing, isn't it? But what are the main benefits?

First of all, this way of working stimulates motivation, leading to higher productivity. Changing environment can help break the monotony and find new sources of inspiration, making daily work more pleasant and stimulating.

Another great advantage of work is freedom. This allows one not only to visit new destinations, but also to spend time in one's favourite locations.

Finally, workation also promotes a better work-life balance. By being in a pleasant and relaxing place, one has the opportunity to devote time to oneself and loved ones, reducing stress and improving general well-being.

In general, working in a different context can significantly increase personal and professional satisfaction.
