Well, workcation is simply people that are going away for work. Remote work. Even with everything that's gone on in 2020, the amount of people that are booking a stay for business is higher through August 2020 than what it was in August 2019. The word remote work or work remotely. That phrase, that keyword has tripled in reviews in 2020.
