SEATTLE, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of
the months spent working at kitchen tables, on couches and even in
bedrooms, Expedia® is giving "Working from Home" a promotion
in 2021. Weary workers will be able to book an exclusive number of
luxury two-week "Work from Here" (WFH) trips for just $20.20, each curated to give remote employees the
opportunity for a major video conference backdrop
upgrade.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has forced an unprecedented shift in how
and where many workers complete their daily '9-5'. Working at
home for an extended period has compounded the desire to explore
new places, take in sites and scenery, and experience something
new," said Nisreene Atassi, Senior Director, Communications, at
Expedia. "Built on the wanderer mindset of today's work from
anywhere professionals, 'Work From Here' celebrates a new global
culture that allows employees the freedom to balance work with
travel. When we can travel freely again, we want to inspire workers
to think differently about their workspace to create happier, more
productive experiences, which would benefit not only employees but
also employers."
For those looking for a new outlook in 2021, the special WFH
trips will go on sale on Dec. 14 at 20:20 EST (8:20 PM
EST) on https://workfromhere.expedia.com and are sure
to sell out quickly. Workers who snag one of the six $20.20 WFH deals will receive a two-week stay for
two at an Expedia VIP Access Property in April 2021.* Inspired by U.S. study respondents
who ranked sun and sand as their most-desired Work From Here
environment, the curated stays for U.S. workers include the
Emeline in Charleston, S.C.,
the Parrott Key Hotel and Villas in Key West, Fla. and The Scott Resort and
Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Emeline in Charleston,
S.C Rich in history, Emeline, presents a calm and
luxurious place to call the 'office'.
Parrott Key Hotel and Villas in Key West, Fla. What's not to love
about working from a tropical, waterfront island destination? The
Parrot Key is a gorgeous boutique hotel with Downtown Key West just a quick (complimentary)
shuttle ride away.
The Scott Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz. An oasis in the heart of
Old Town, Scottsdale, The Scott Resort & Spa offers
a number of stylish and inspiring workspaces.
With many organizations' remote work policies extended well into
2021, Expedia surveyed 1,000 U.S. employees to uncover the desires
and perceived benefits of working from a new location as part of
its global WFH Report. Some of the most interesting
U.S. findings include:
- Work-dreams are the new daydreams: Three in four people
wish they could work from a new location to get a more exotic
"office view," and more than half (56%) want the trip to be for two
weeks.
- Dear family, wish you were here: 68% of respondents said
they would leave their family at home for a couple weeks to work
remote from a vacation spot.
- "Work from Here" endorphins: Queue the smiles and
exhales - U.S. remote workers say that a WFH trip will have real
emotional benefits. The top three include: Feeling happy, excited
and relaxed.
- Being in paradise improves productivity: Two-thirds of
people believe working from a vacation spot would benefit their
work output.
- Tighter family ties: Two in three people expect their
relationship with their both partner and kids would improve if they
could work from a new location.
Jessica Naziri, Women's
Lifestyle and Tech expert and founder of
TechSesh, comments: "As living rooms and bedrooms have
become interchangeable with office spaces, it's easier than ever to
start feeling burnt out, so we're seeing people getting creative
and taking their work elsewhere. Now that you can work from
anywhere, all you need to successfully combine work and travel are
reliable WiFi and a few tech essentials. Get the most out of your
'Work From Here' trip by creating structure in your day, having a
dedicated workspace and carving out time to enjoy and explore."
