Abstract

The transforming employment structures and solutions, incresing opportunities, have an affect on
the way of working, its spatial and temporal organization. The place of work is becoming more flexible, and due to technological development, the number of people who can choose where they
have they spend their working hours is growing. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the
conditions under which telecommuting employees try out a service where hybrid work is performed in a tourist destination in a community space. Our results can serve as a guide for hotel owners and
operators, indicating the direction on how to expand their services and improve their quality. For employees it offers a new kind of solution to dealing with the work–life balance problem, adapting to the circumstances and needs.
