Faced with an imminent extension of work activities at home and the lack of adequate spaces and internet, hotel chains in the country migrate to a work model: workation.

One of these chains is led by Grupo Posadas, owner of the Grand Fiesta Americana, Fiesta Americana and Fiesta Inn brands, which have developed the "Flex Office" model, which guarantees the best sanitary practices, and offers an alternative for those looking for a better space for remote work.

For example, these hotels seek to magnify the experience of their clients who have to do remote work by offering high-speed internet, a 55-inch screen, air conditioning, private bathroom and food and beverage service.

Similarly, Gurpo Posadas points out, its rooms and spaces offer privacy that can rarely be seen at home.

Until October of this year, the expected income from tourism in Mexico fell about 53.4 percent due to the stoppage of activities due to the advance of COVID-19.

Of this number, it should be noted that from January to August, about 25 percent of the beds available in the country were reserved, an adverse outlook when compared with figures recorded before the health emergency.

"Many workers today have been forced to create a workspace within their homes in which there are distractors that do not allow concentration and, sometimes, the most efficient equipment, connection or furniture is not available, factors that they may be affecting their daily productivity, "explains Grupo Posadas.

According to the Bahia de Banderas Hotel and Motel Association (AHMBB) in the Riviera Nayarit, the workation model is an attractive alternative for the tourism sector and for potential clients looking for a better place to work and enjoy, where appropriate, of beaches and relaxation rooms.
