Do you take blended business + leisure trips?

Curious about this new travel trend, I guess it's called "bleisure." i.e. you book a trip for work and then tag a few days on to that for yourself or your family over the weekend. Do you do this? Why or why not? How often? Are there pain points? Let me know in the comments!

If you are a start-up founder, there is no other way to travel. Plan your time ahead so your family knows what to expect and can plan other activities on the days you're going to work.

@dstirk Maybe that's why I'm so intrigued in this insight! I think there is some opportunity in it but it's still a hazy idea. What are some areas that would feel difficult when doing this?

@justin_govy it's not particularly difficult, but a lot of business travel involves regular visits to the same place which is boring for family members. When I travel alone, I usually look for an event (marathon, concert, conference) that is nearby.

@justin_govy I'm hearing more and more about the revenge travel. It seems like a new trend you should investigate more for your business. It makes a lot of sense.

@cristinaimre YES! Revenge travel is real. It's a way we set up the opportunity right now in the industry. Kind of like a FOMO for investors. Even with everything going on in the markets, travel is still booming because people are still playing catch up after the pandemic. I also think that there is just a general move more towards purchasing experiences over other goods.
