A few years ago, the word “workliday” (or “workation”) was unheard of. While the word hasn’t been listed in official dictionaries, the use of this word has risen ever since the pandemic buzz gradually died down. As you may have inferred, the word “workliday” is a mix-and-match for “work” and “holiday”, referring to an emerging culture where people can work while traveling someplace. With our technology getting more and more capable of supporting remote work, added by the fact that remote working benefits corporations, the workliday trend seems to keep on rising.

In Indonesia, the government made the “Work from Bali” initiative back in mid-2021. Led by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the program was first popular among state-owned enterprise employees. Unsurprisingly, employees from several private companies also jump into the bandwagon, thanks to the great rates of vaccination several months prior. According to Sandiaga Uno, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, the initiative made a “multiplier effect for creative economic products by 70%.”, which immensely helped the local economy.

Workliday and Hospitality Business

What does this workliday mean for businesses? For certain, it positively affects local businesses, especially those which operate in the hospitality sector. As workliday people travel from one location to another, they will need accommodation. Hospitality businesses around the world are quick to grab this opportunity such as hotels have started offering “work-from-hotels” deals. Hotels in Singapore, for instance, have offered work-from-hotel packages ranging from 1 – 30 SGD/hour. Similar trends can also be found in the US, Indonesia, and Mexico.

Opportunities for ISPs 

The workliday trend significantly helps hospitality businesses to get back on its track. Quoted by Knight Frank, the Central Bureau of Statistics recorded that Q2 hotel occupancy in Indonesia was 30.35%. Although the number isn’t great, it certainly was an improvement from the all-time-low 12.67% hotel occupancy rate in April 2020. At the same time, the rising trend of workliday means that hospitality businesses are competing to offer the best options for their guests. This is where ISPs can work with hospitality businesses to provide the best sources of entertainment.
