The Business Trip Is Becoming More Than Business

Business travel is evolving as travelers look for ways to make the most of time spent away from home. Rather than heading straight to the airport after a meeting or conference, more travelers are extending their stays to experience the destination. Explore how adding a night before or after a work trip can turn a routine business itinerary into an opportunity to discover new opportunities, , recharge, and experience something new.

From Meetings to Mini Getaways

A business trip can offer an easy starting point for a personal getaway, particularly when travelers are already traveling to a destination they may not otherwise visit. See how travelers are incorporating local restaurants, cultural experiences, attractions and outdoor activities into their itineraries, as well as the growing appeal of staying through the weekend. An example of a destination where travelers can easily combine business with leisure would be The Royal Sonesta Boston, The Clift Royal Sonesta San Francisco, and Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island
