Tui seeks tester for new 'workation' scheme
Will PayneTui is searching for someone to test its new "workation" scheme, which gives people the chance to work from abroad in all-inclusive four and five-star hotels.
The operator is running a competition offering one winner the chance to sample a "workation" and share their views.
The prize will include a seven-night stay for two in a hotel on an all-inclusive basis with flights and transfers included.
It comes after the company launched "workation" packages, which gives people the chance to work remotely from Spain, Greece, Portugal, Morocco and Jamaica.
All 50 of the hotels in the collection have been selected to ensure they offer desk space, good wifi and either a balcony or terrace. Prices start at £1,049 for a fortnight, £1,349 for three weeks and £1,799 for four weeks.
The move comes after Tui introduced a “work from anywhere” policy in July, which saw the company shift to a permanent flexible working approach following the pandemic.
Tui UK and Ireland commercial and business development director Richard Sofer said there is "clearly an appetite for workations" and "as an employer and travel company, we want to continue to modernise and offer breadth and flexibility".
"The pandemic has not only changed the way millions of us work, but it has also changed the way we feel about work-life balance," he added. "It has made us realise that life is precious and there to be enjoyed."
"There’s absolutely no reason why workers can’t happily combine having fun in a lovely environment with working. Indeed, it’s likely that the happier they are the better they will perform and we should embrace this."
