They also extended assistance to governments and DMOs (Destination Marketing Organizations) to revive tourism.

Collaboration with destinations will also promote educational campaigns. This will be meant to promote responsible remote working and hosting. The destination hubs will open later in 2022.
| The optimal destinations that are chosen for remote workers and digital nomads range from whole countries to smaller locations including lesser-known towns. They are chosen for how remote workers like these destinations. Another factor is the progressive approach of these locations as to the policies that are favorable to these new-age working trends. |
This initiative for remote workers is the next step of what has already been done during the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, Airbnb had collaborated with 160 governments and DMOs with the aim of supporting efforts to encourage the revival of tourism to the communities of those countries/regions. These include Buenos Ires, Malaga, and the French Rural Mayors Association.
