Bleisure travel - the practice of blending business travel with leisure time

The practice of blending business travel with leisure time is known as bleisure. It entails extending your stay past your contractual obligations to explore the area, fully immerse yourself in the culture, and engage in leisure activities.

Although the phrase was first used in 2009, its use surged in popularity in 2016. The two primary types of bleisure travellers are business travellers who bring friends or family along and corporate, group, or conference guests who add a few days of holiday to their business visits.

In order to enjoy some downtime or local sightseeing before or after their professional commitments, leisure travellers frequently make use of flights or hotels that are paid for by their employers.
