Blending Business with Leisure… The MICE industry is no longer just about “Boring Business”, the industry is transforming towards the rising trend of “Bleisure” where Business Travel meets Leisure Travel, as the boundaries between work and personal life continue to blur. Companies and employees increasingly emphasize work-life balance. Incorporating leisure activities into business trips through organizing meetings, incentives, conferences, or exhibitions in destinations that offer extensive leisure activities allowing employees and the wider business community to unwind and enhance their business travel experiences while maintaining productivity. Many companies are recognizing the benefits of allowing employees to combine business with leisure. Extending business trips to include additional elements of ‘personal enjoyment’ can reduce burnout, improve job satisfaction, and enhance employee well-being. Recent studies show that bleisure travel is on the rise. According to a survey by Expedia, 60% of business trips now include a leisure component. This trend is especially popular among millennials, who value experiences over material possessions.
