AB  - In recent years, coworking spaces have become a growing source of interest for the tourism
sector. Coworking spaces are often mentioned in the context of digital nomadism, as a strategy
to attract freelancers and remote workers during extended stays. There is a growing trend to offer
co-living solutions in addition to welcoming new types of users such as families on leisure travel.
Despite the growing importance of tourism-related purposes, there is a lack of understanding
about this link and the consequences of tourism on the development of coworking spaces and
their locations. Tourism is under-explored as a factor influencing the spatial distribution of coworking
spaces. To this end, this article explores the development and spatial distribution of the
main coworking spaces in Portugal, paying particular attention to tourist demand and the
initiatives and policies that promote this connection. In total, 221 coworking spaces with different
nature and services were identified. . Spatial analysis was carried out at the NUTS II level. findings
indicate a high concentration in two locations - Lisbon Metropolitan Region and Norte Region.
Furthermore, measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic have transformed working
practices. Different situations have been recorded, and many coworking managers expect to
benefit from an increased number of remote workers and workplaces decentralization, particularly
outside large cities, in places with better quality of life and lower cost of living.
The results are discussed in terms of location considerations and policy measures taken since
the beginning of the pandemic and the influence on the development of coworking spaces. The
results provide critical insights for further research and policymakers.
