Bleisure tourism, a portmanteau of business and leisure, is gaining popularity as professionals increasingly seek ways to balance their work commitments with the desire for relaxation and exploration. Bleisure tourism represents a departure from the conventional notion of business travel, where professionals would visit a destination solely for work- related purposes. Instead, individuals now seize the opportunity to extend their stay, transforming business trips into a dual- purpose experience that combines work and leisure seamlessly.engBleisure tourismTechnologybusiness tripsdual-purpose experienceworkleisurePrefaceeditorial10.4018/979-8-3693-4354-8
