(BPT) - Ever take a business trip and spend the evenings scrolling through the takeout options? It’s time to inject some excitement into work travel. With some thoughtful planning, your next business trip can open the door to new travel experiences. By combining business and leisure trips into one, you’ll not only explore new cultures and places, but you’ll also relieve stress from the grind with activities that make the obligatory business trip something you’ll look forward to.
Read on for some helpful tips to elevate your next business trip: Plan Your Post-Work Activities Every successful trip starts with a plan. Your calendar may be stacked with work-related activities but take advantage of your limited downtime to maximize your visit in a new destination and enjoy an escape. Gather recommendations from colleagues and decide early on what your must-see attractions are and how you can work them into your schedule.
You’ll be more likely to take advantage of downtime if you’re armed with an itinerary in advance.
