Airbnb today announced the launch of the Northwest Arkansas remote working hub, a one-stop shop for aspiring remote workers created in partnership with the Northwest Arkansas Council. The hub provides anyone looking to live and work in Northwest Arkansas with information on local remote-work-friendly venues, as well as Airbnb listings in the area.
The hub is part of our Live and Work Anywhere initiative launched in 2022 to identify some of the most remote-worker-friendly destinations in the world, and support governments and Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) to help revive tourism and open up new economic opportunities for communities following the pandemic.
Surrounded by the Ozark mountains, Northwest Arkansas offers something special for everyone, from world-class art at Crystal Bridges and The Momentary, to plentiful outdoor recreation activities with over 500 miles of mountain biking trails and paved paths, plus several distinct downtowns with quaint town squares and award-winning restaurants.
It has also become a go-to destination for living and working with a growing remote work infrastructure. Since Northwest Arkansas launched its Life Works Here program in 2020, more than 67,000 people from all 50 states and across the world have applied for the relocation incentive, and the area has welcomed more than 100 professionals and their families.
Together, Airbnb and the Northwest Arkansas Council will collaborate on various initiatives to promote the region to remote workers looking for longer stays.
