How Travel agents should be crafting packages to attract bleisure travelers.
What Is All About The Bleisure Travel Trend?
Bleisure Travel allows the Business Travelers to combine business with leisure in one same trip. It helps to find the right balance between work fulfillment and personal gratification while combining the work commitments with happiness in discovering a new place and giving even more purpose to their travel.
If we try to build the profile of an average bleisure traveler, it would be a professional, in their twenties to early fifties and that, as long as its corporate travel policies allow them, would be happy to mix business with leisure on a business trip.
This trend has been clearly encouraged by millennials business travelers, which are driving it by extending their business trips by a few days so they can experience local attractions. Companies have started to realize the value of bleisure trips to retain millennial talent and are accepting to enhance business travel with leisure options such as events and activities and sightseeing.
This is a new ideal situation for travel suppliers as it offers a clear opportunity to tackle those business travelers that wish to extend their stay. And many business travelers wish to bring their family together so more people can enjoy the need for daily tours and luxury accommodations at the same time. When it makes little sense to go all around the globe only for 24 to 48 hours, travelers might extend their stay and enjoy the place they are visiting.
