BLEISURE: On The Rise

´BLEISURE´ is the combination of business travel and leisure travel in one trip. The number of business travelers wishing to extend the journey for leisure is growing year by year. Marketers use this trend for their events by presenting and promoting the venue, the host city or region, and the “Things to do outside of your event” to remind attendees why the event is worth the visit. This encourages more people to be part of your event because it´s not just about work. It is not a surprise. Our HQ office is located in Frankfurt. Currently, IAA (international motor show) is ongoing. The area is just packed with people in every way – public transportation, restaurant, hotel, shopping mall, and landmark spot.

THINGS TO DO OUTSIDE OF YOUR EVENT

And organizers can be creative to make a series of secondary activities out of the venue. That would be a breakthrough new business possibility and spice up for events.
