Gone are the days when your desk and your office needed to be in the same place. These days a commute to work might involve just a hop skip and a jump to a beachfront hammock, from which you can grind through the day's tasks, dangling in the tropical breeze, nothing but you, your next breath of sea air, and your laptop.

Airbnb (ABNB  ) unveiled 100 new features last Wednesday tailor-made for what the company calls "the new world of travel." It's a world in which the boundary between the vacation rental and the office becomes increasingly indistinguishable. Airbnb is betting that as more and more people embrace the flexibility of working from home, more and more of them will begin to imagine the possibility of working from the beach, the lakeside, the mountaintop, or the far-off metropolis.

"We are seeing three fundamental shifts in travel as people become less tethered and more flexible," said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky. "People can travel anytime, they are traveling to more places, and they are staying longer. The lines between travel, living, and working are blurring, and we are upgrading our service to make it easier for more people to integrate travel into their lives."

Chief among the changes are three new ways for digital nomads to scout for potential office-turned-vacation rentals. Flexible dates, which began in February, will allow users to search for properties without any particular date in mind. Meanwhile, the new flexible destinations and flexible matching features will cue them into unique properties and listings outside their immediate search areas.

Along with unveiling new features for the platform, Chesky also detailed his vision for his company's next chapter. According to him, Covid-19 has caused "the most profound change in travel since the airplane." While telecommuting has been around since the 1970s, Covid-19 forced corporations to fully embrace the notion of the digital office space, potentially opening up a whole new market for Airbnb, the long-term rental market.

"When your living somewhere for 28 or more days, you're problem no longer traveling," Chesky noted, adding that 24% of all the company's bookings are for a month or longer. And for Chesky, this vision of summering in Cape Cod and wintering in Miami isn't just for the jet-set Instagram models or while nested retirees anymore.

"You used to have to be wealthy to live somewhere else for the summer, but people can defer the costs now by renting [their primary home] on Airbnb when they're gone-it could even become a cash-neutral possibility now."

Of course, Chesky's vision of this future, in which any Joe Everyman can teleport from city to city, month to month, hinges on whether corporations remain flexible about where their employees can live and work.

But for Chesky, continued corporate benevolence is a non-factor.

"They'll need to shift to retain talent," he says, as they bring on more and more "young digitally native managers that don't want the limitations of legacy workplaces."

At the same time, these new fully remote companies "will want to come together for key moments," which Chesky says will define "business travel 2.0-where employees working remotely will come back to HQ for a week at a time for the busy financial planning season or whatnot."

Whatever happens, Chesky believes the next era of business travel will see Airbnb become the go-to place to get for tomorrow's tech-set employees to find a place to live, work, and travel.

For him, this future is inevitable: "Companies aren't going to determine this-employees will."
