A new Flight Centre survey found younger workers were more likely to fancy adding a few days of leisure to business trips. But there may be nuances, depending on what sector you’re in, if you want a so-called “bleisure” or blended travel trip yourself. Professor Jarrod Haar, dean’s chair in management and Māori business at Massey University, said New Zealand travellers might be keener to tack on a few days to a far-flung destination rather than on a visit to Sydney.
Haar said the average worker, if told they’d get to visit a new client in New York, would be thinking their Christmases all arrived at once. But making bleisure a reality might hit some resistance..
