How do service providers perceive digital nomads? How do they adapt their businesses to digital nomads? Three main findings emerge. Firstly, this article pinpoints the importance of shifting the focus from identity of digital nomads to the practice of working remotely while travelling in order to have a more nuanced discussion over the local impacts of DN. Secondly, it presents six adaptation strategies of local businesses and their broader implications for the city, including the emergence of new services, the reconfiguration of the built environment, and ongoing gentrification processes. Thirdly, the study sheds light on the complex interactions between public and private sectors in adapting urban services to digital nomads, often at the expense of the local communities. Cette étude explore le nomadisme numérique (NN) à Barcelone du point de vue des entreprises offrant des services aux nomades numériques. Basée sur le nouveau paradigme des mobilités, elle examine les impacts territoriaux du NN, en se concentrant sur les entreprises de coworking et de coliving. Comment les prestataires de services perçoivent-ils les nomades numériques ? Comment adaptent-ils leurs entreprises aux nomades numériques ? Trois principales conclusions émergent. L'article révèle l'importance de se focaliser sur la pratique du travail à distance en voyage plutôt que sur l'identité des nomades numériques pour avoir une discussion plus nuancée sur les impacts locaux du NN. Il présente six stratégies d'adaptation des entreprises locales et leurs implications pour la ville, notamment la reconfiguration urbaine et les défis de gentrification. Enfin, il met en évidence les interactions entre les secteurs public et privé dans le réaménagement des services urbains pour les nomades numériques, souvent au détriment des communautés locales. |
