In corporate travel, extending a business trip for personal purposes is known as “bleisure,” an awkward term that’s only saving grace is that it’s less awful than the alternative, “bizcation.”
Bleisure travel has received considerable attention lately, with some traveler surveys suggesting that as many as 6 out of 10 people have tacked on personal time to a business trip. Those surveys suggest that bleisure emerged as a trend in response to increasingly demanding work schedules and because work and life lines have blurred because of technology in other ways, so it’s only natural that travel would follow as well.
