Bleisure Travel: the rise of holiday and work in one
Bleisure is an amalgamation of the words ‘business’ and ‘leisure’. A trip that combines work and holiday. This form of travel is becoming increasingly popular. The fact that many people can work remotely makes it easier to stay away from home for longer without taking holidays. Besides, there is a renewed interest in travelling after the pandemic, and what could be easier than discovering a destination you have to go to for work anyway?
What type of travel will be popular in 2024?
Like every year, we are already busy booking our next holiday. From faraway trips to beautiful destinations to short city trips nearby. Everyone chooses the holiday that suits them best, but which type of holiday is popular varies every year.
