Some people who make frequent business trips consider these days to be exhausting and, after a while, monotonous. It means packing your suitcase, going to the airport, complying with waiting times, attending scheduled work appointments and returning to your city of origin.
However, in recent times a trend has been emerging that has been called bleisure, which is the combination of business and leisure. It is also known as labor. It is a practice that consists of organizing a work trip, extending the stay a little to be able to enjoy leisure time at the destination. According to statistics, 36% of people who must travel for work take advantage of the trip to do some tourism. Today’s travelers are looking for more personalized and flexible trips, and tend to avoid short stays in which they have to go and return in the same day, or reservations on the fly that generate added stress. Nowadays, the satisfaction of the business traveler is beginning to be essential when organizing this type of trip.
One of the ways to ensure a pleasant and quality trip is to choose luxury accommodation. Nowhere like home, it is often said, but this does not have to be the case. There are many hotels that, in addition to offering all kinds of services and taking care of every last detail, have achieved a cozy and warm atmosphere that makes guests feel at home, and even better. Comfortable and luxurious accommodation is essential if we want a business trip to be as pleasant as possible and to be comforting after a busy day at work.
