What does Bleisure Travel mean?

When combining "business" (work) and "leisure" (free time), travelers combine the necessary with the beautiful: business commitments in beautiful travel regions are combined with private tourist activities. This can be a guided tour of discovery, a cultural highlight in the conference city or a mountain bike tour through magical landscapes, which is a wonderful way to "clear your head" after a stressful conference. Which attraction have you always wanted to visit? Where can you take your family or friends to make great discoveries? How wonderful if you could simply extend your business trip by a few days to explore, experience and enjoy the region together?

Convincing benefits for employees

This perfect symbiosis provides completely new perspectives, great experiences and a better work-life balance. It offers the opportunity to recharge your batteries, relax or actively burn off energy. It saves you valuable time for double travel to and from the destination and is also sustainable for the environment.

Good to know: In contrast to workation, where employees work permanently in a vacation region, bleisure travelers use business trips for private interests by pursuing tourist activities after work or extending the trip by a few days. The additional costs incurred are borne exclusively by the employees themselves, while the employer usually pays all business-related travel costs such as the flight and hotel costs for the business part of the stay.

Benefits for employers

It is obvious: on the one hand, they benefit from happy, well-balanced employees and, on the other, they increase their attractiveness as they actively accommodate the changes in the world of work with these offers: Work is not perceived as a burden, but as an enrichment. Increasing mobility and the digitalization of work processes are driving trends such as bleisure travel. So be part of it! Thuringia's tourism players are looking forward to meeting YOU!
