                                           “Business is a combination of war and sport”

             often leaves you without enough days or weeks to plan a proper
             vacation. You aren’t alone. Which is why today, many families or
             singles are combining business trips with a vacation, planning that
             sought after getaway by mixing work with leisure.

             Otherwise known as bleisure travel, a term coined by the travel
             industry, this new persona of traveller is rapidly becoming a global
             norm when now more than ever, taking a proper break seems almost
             impossible for most people.

             With the line between business and pleasure very quickly becoming
             blurred, the question remains: How do you do it? How do you organise
             a trip that incorporates elements of business and holiday travel?
