Hotwire Proclaims "Workventure" is the new "Bleisure"SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for business conference season, Hotwire.com® today announced its goal to redefine what has been formerly known as "bleisure travel," and introduce consumers to "workventure." Data from a recent consumer survey* shows that the 10 percent of American business travelers who take opportunities to make the most out of each trip are more savvy, adventurous, and spontaneous than those who don't. Forty-one percent of these travelers say they like new and exciting experiences, even if they have to bend the rules (compared to 28 percent of overall population.) Clearly they're having more fun than the average Joe. "We know that people who get out and explore and take full advantage of work travel are more fun. So, of course we want to encourage anyone who goes on business trips to shift their mindset, and to be more adventurous," said Hotwire President Henrik Kjellberg. "Business and personal travel don't have to be so segmented. Sometimes it's just about getting up early to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge before morning meetings, or relaxing at the end of a full day at a conference by checking out a hip new restaurant in a neighborhood you've never been to."
"The concept of work/leisure balance has always been confusing to me," Kjellberg said. "There doesn't need to be a distinction between the two, because work is a part of life. When you love what you do, and you take time to make the most out of every experience, the result is a healthier, happier, more inspired person. And that translates into every facet of life."
