The Rise of “Workationing” in Colorado’s Western Slope

By Cory Thompson

“Workationing”—blending remote work with vacation—is trending across Google. As more people value location flexibility, Fruita CO and Grand Junction CO are emerging as prime destinations for professionals seeking productive, scenic work environments.

As an executive living here, I’m proud how our region offers affordable living, reliable connectivity, and inspiring landscapes. Workationers boost local hospitality, coworking spaces, and small business revenues.

Key Benefits:

  • Enhanced creativity inspired by nature
  • Increased patronage at local establishments
  • Opportunity for remote teams to meet in person

Business leaders should promote “workation” packages and share local success stories. Read more on community growth at CoryThompsonFruitaCO.com and the economic impact in Grand Junction at CoryThompsonGrandJunction.com.
