Abstract
The potential of digital nomad communities to support sustainable development and rural revival is examined in this research. Digital nomads are remote workers who travel and work from different places using technology. They provide skills, creativity, and cross-cultural interchange to rural areas. The desire for flexible lifestyles and worldwide trends toward remote work are congruent with the emergence of digital nomadism. Conversely, rural rejuvenation tackles issues including depopulation and economic downturns in rural areas, which are frequently made worse by urbanization and globalization. Rural communities can benefit from the new technology, varied businesses, and cultural enrichment that digital nomads can bring. Nonetheless, issues like geographical limits and infrastructure shortcomings must be resolved. The effective integration of digital nomads into rural areas requires policy support, teamwork, and new approaches. Rural communities may support economic growth, cultural preservation, and sustainable development by utilizing the skills and resources of digital nomads.
