The term comes from 'business' and 'leisure' and means that work is combined with leisure. Employees use the opportunity to spend additional vacation days at the destination of their business trip. This is intended to improve work-life balance.
What are the advantages of bleisure travel?
Lower vacation costs
Most companies cover travel expenses. Therefore, employees usually only have to pay the additional costs for the hotel.
Higher job satisfaction
Some companies allow employees to take their families on business trips by arrangement, so they can enjoy their leisure time and subsequent vacation together. This helps employees reduce stress and improve their work-life balance.
Time savings
By eliminating additional travel days, employers not only save vacation days but also valuable time.
Ecological footprint
Reducing the number of trips also has a positive impact on the ecological footprint. Bleisure travel helps save harmful greenhouse gases.
