“My qualified guess is that the coast, in particular, stands to benefit but we never really know which places become popular. We may also see some unexpected destinations rising.”

I was quoted in Tourism Update on Kenya’s new digital nomad permit, where I argued that the opportunity is real but the offer needs to stay simple, affordable, and competitive. I also pointed to the likely benefits for the coast, while noting that a surge in demand could put pressure on rents in some popular areas.
