magic of the holiday island gradually disappears. digital nomads bring money into a country, but they can also disrupt the nature in social fabric up a place. according to estimates, there are currently around 35000000 digital nomads worldwide, and mexico is one of their favorite destinations. a stature of santa maria laquata cwa is located in a trendy neighborhood in mexico city. she is the patron saint against gentrification. gentrification is when a neighbourhood gets changed by more affluent residents and businesses that displace the local inhabitants. the statue is an art project by the atlas sandra valensuela, and is meant to raise awareness for the threat of displacement felt by the local population. what they're looking for for what happens is that when people don't

have enough money to live in that country, cities, they end up going to cheaper countries where they can afford to live. the problem shifts and ultimately displaces. people come with a black i left by the founder and the 1st half of 2020 to the demand for short term rentals across mexico searched by 41 percent. some researchers believe the influx of digital nomads has led to increased inflation and changed some neighborhoods in the capital into spaces for the rich. con, coronado works as an interior designer and community between los angeles and mexico city. he has experienced animosity towards digital nomads. people show resentful. one of the things that i always said is a come to live here only for free, you know, i help the economy. but for them, the only thing that they have in mind is that i, you know, my presence here doesn't help the fact whence globbed that every single glove

a lot of people who have the, the luxury of being able to work remotely. according to market ailing digital nomads. and they love for mexico also have a positive side effect for the country itself. i think a lot of people are dispelling a lot of the negative preconceptions on mexico. they're realizing that no, it's not just not a cause and violence and poverty. there's beautiful sides. this country and they're celebrating that too many digital nomads like to work in nature, but no one takes it as seriously as jason griffin. in the spring of 2021, this hanging ledge was his office for a day. this working space is not for the faint hearted above the rough irish c jason griffin wants to test the boundaries of working remotely, a climbing i spare to companies, jason on his mission. his temporary office is a cliff on the island of angle. see on the north coast of wales today we are
