January 28, 2016 on Creator by WeWork || Bleisure: It’s the Kimye of the business travel world. The marriage of business travel with leisure time is one of travel’s biggest trends these days (and one of its most unfortunate terms).
Put simply, “bleisure” travelers take advantage of a meeting or work event in another destination, and carve out some non-working time to enjoy themselves.
Seems obvious, right? Well, it’s becoming that way. According to a 2014 survey by Skift, more and more business travelers are combining leisure time with their work trips. Six out of ten respondents reported that they have taken a “bleisure” trip. Millennial travelers are leading the charge—94 percent of travelers under the age of 35 expressed interest in taking this type of trip.
Infusing some leisure time into your work trip is pretty straightforward, but there are some key things to consider when making plans.
