Abstract: This policy brief examines what prospective digital nomads look for in low-density destinations, drawing on exploratory evidence from the NomadVillage pre-registration survey. The findings suggest that connectivity is necessary but not sufficient: housing, everyday services, community, work infrastructure, quality of life and meaningful local experiences also shape destination preferences. The brief translates these findings into practical guidance for municipalities and regional agencies seeking to design realistic and sustainable attraction strategies, avoiding overpromising and aligning territorial promotion with the actual expectations of medium-stay remote workers.
