One brings relaxation, the other money: "Bleisure travelers" combine the pleasant with the useful by extending a business trip by a few days' vacation. Krone+ shows why some companies encourage this - and what employees need to bear in mind to avoid problems.

Workation and bleisure are suitcase words that describe similar but different things. The former refers to the combination ofwork andvacation, i.e. "normal" working from a vacation location. The latter, on the other hand, combines business and leisure, i.e. work and leisure. Bleisure travel therefore means that business trips are interspersed with leisure activities or extended by a few vacation days.
