Still don’t know what bleisure is? It is a term that combines business with leisure. And it’s becoming more and more common, now that we can travel with fewer restrictions. As travel returns, many employees may be tacking on a few extra days before or after business trips to enjoy leisure travel. In this way, we can combine the best of each travel format, making the most of time and context.
The benefits of bleisure
After having been working from home for a long period of time without being able to travel, the possibility of meeting with colleagues or clients becomes more and more attractive. Besides, this can also help create a larger, one-team-one-vision approach to meetings, breaking down those silos and boosting overall morale.
In addition, the combination of work and fun or personal activities helps to create a far better work/life balance. This tends to result in greater happiness, lower levels of stress and more of a sense that business trips are worthwhile.
And another reason to highlight the benefits of bleisure, is that many business travelers return to the same location repeatedly, or at least more than once. With this in mind, bleisure trips offer an opportunity for travelers to get to know the location and its culture better. This can help to improve the quality of work done, while allowing more meaningful business relationships to be formed.
Plan the trip
It is not only about extending the trip a few days, but also about being able to enjoy them with family or friends. Many business travelers want to be able to meet loved ones in different places, so planning becomes a must.
It is important to look for destinations that meet all our safety, cost, time and sustainability requirements, and if the place also offers leisure possibilities, it’s a win-win. What attractions are in the area? What does the location offer without having to leave?
The incentive travel return
In addition, after having been without the possibility of traveling for the last two years, many companies are offering incentive travel to their employees. As a way of saying thanks for keeping the company moving and progressing forward during unknown times, incentive travel may end up being the fastest-growing return in business travel. In fact, all-inclusive, cruise and resort options may be on the table as businesses may have allocated more in the budget for the resumption of travel.
