Millennials are well known for their sense of adventure and exploration, so they have become crafty at creating “bleisure” trips, or combining business travel with leisure travel. One of the reasons for this is because millennials have delayed marriage and having children, allowing them to have fewer commitments to rush home to after business travel. “Millennials are most likely to ask about combining leisure with business travel, work-life balance or bringing family on trips,” said Evan Konwiser, Vice President Digital Traveler at American Express Global Business Travel, a business travel company. “Companies are, therefore, developing progressive travel policies that encourage both personal and professional growth for business travelers. “Our [Mezi] survey found that 74 percent of frequent business travelers wish their corporate travel policy included a budget for extracurriculars and personal entertainment ,” said Swapnil Shinde, Co-Founder and CEO of Mezi, an artificial intelligence powered personal travel assistant.
