The rise of the 'half-tourist' who combines work with a change of scene
Covid-19 has accelerated the decline of the office, but not everyone wants to work from home. We look at travel firms catering to the growing number of nomadic workers
Until the pandemic the term “remote worker” conjured up an image of a young hipster lugging a Mac around a co-living space somewhere in Bali or Berlin. But when coronavirus forced half of the UK to work from home back in April, a whole new cohort of people, who had spent their entire careers in an office, realised that working from different locations was a real possibility. Boris Johnson’s announcement on 22 September of a new set of Covid-restrictions that could last up to six months – including advice to work from home wherever possible, in a reversal of previous messaging – could well inspire many more people to adopt a nomadic working life.
Destinations hit by the global halt in travel have already started to target nomadic workers to make up for the loss of tourist income. Barbados was one of the first to launch a “digital nomad” visa, in July. Since then, a wave of other countries have announced similar programmes, including Estonia, Georgia and Croatia. Most recently, Anguilla launched a visa scheme inviting visitors to live and work on the island for 12 months, “swapping grey skies and jumpers for tropical blues and daily temperatures reaching for the 30s”.

Which countries can UK holidaymakers visit without restrictions?
A guide to countries that UK tourists can now visit, in light of the government’s updated travel corridor list
The UK government’s travel corridor list continues to be updated as Covid rates change, with many popular European holiday destinations removed in the last few weeks.
The latest announcements impose quarantine measures on arrivals into England from mainland Portugal, Hungary, French Polynesia and R̩union. Sweden, which pursued a light-touch approach to coronavirus restrictions, has been added to the travel corridor list for the first time. The latest countries removed from the safe list are in addition to the seven Greek islands - Lesvos, Tinos, Serifos, Mykonos, Crete, Santorini and Zakynthos Рwhile mainland Greece remains exempt from quarantine measures. Restrictions differ across the devolved nations Рpassengers from Greece must self-isolate when arriving in Scotland; in Wales this applies to the Greek islands of Mykonos, Zakynthos, Lesvos, Paros and Antiparos and Crete.

10 holiday highlights of this strange summer: readers’ tips
Waterfalls and wildflowers, beavers, bike rides, a Dales sunrise … our readers share their magical escapes from reality this year
We decided to try a trip to Belgium, as it isn’t a particularly long drive and it doesn’t get too hot – or so we thought. Flanders is a brilliant place if you like cycling or walking. It also – we found out – is excellent for beer and food. At the beginning of August, Flanders was steaming hot and glorious in a sleepy, boozy, friendly way. We cycled, drank and ate for six days in Maarkedal, until the quarantine forced our hand and we headed back to the UK.
