Abstract: Abstract Globalization and digital technologies have facilitated the rise of neo-nomads. During the pandemic, companies increased the possibilities to work from home and made working conditions more flexible, as a mechanism to continue their activities. Territories also saw the opportunity to take advantage of neo-nomadism to reduce the economic impact generated by immobilization during the crisis. However, this way of life may have implications for the sustainability of the territories. This study aims to explore neo-nomadism and its sustainability, as well as to review how countries have regulated this phenomenon and its associated practices. This study uses the Scopus and Web of Science databases to conduct a literature review on socioeconomic and environmental sustainability linked to neo-nomadism and the regulations enacted by countries. The main conclusions revolve around the scarce examination of the sustainability of neo-nomadic practices and the implications it has for territories. Furthermore, this review reveals that studies on the regulations enacted by countries do not cover the issue of sustainability.
