Mix Business with
Leisure
Remember the phrase: “Don’t mix Business with Pleasure”? This phrase is not so true anymore. In fact, it is quickly becoming a common
occurrence. So much so that it now even
has a name – Bleisure!
In a report by GBTA (Global Business Travel Association), it
is reported that 37% of business travelers extended their work trip into a
leisure vacation. GBTA finds that
Bleisure travelers took 7 work trips this past year. 44% took their families along.
Are there benefits to enjoying Bleisure travel? Absolutely.
Those who take Bleisure trips are found to work more effectively, enjoy
less stress during business travel, and relax more while away from home. They also realize the benefits of spending
quality time with their significant other or their families.
Kelly Phillips, senior
VP of Global Engagement and Strategic Accounts for Hilton states, “Business
travel is a lifestyle for many of our guests and we’re seeing a growing desire
by these travelers to add a leisure component to their trip and experience the
destination beyond the meeting room.”
Imagine spending some extra time in Seattle visiting the
amazing restaurants they have in the area, or enjoying the beaches of Florida
on an extended Bleisure trip. Where will
you be traveling next? Let me help
manage your business and leisure trip and imagine yourself on your next
stress-free Bleisure vacation.
