Today’s business traveller isn’t just flying in and out anymore. They’re blending productivity with pleasure, turning quick trips into memorable experiences. This shift, known as bleisure travel, a fusion of “business” and “leisure”, has quietly become one of the biggest trends shaping the future of travel.
From remote workers hopping between cities to contractors squeezing in weekend adventures after site visits, the UK is buzzing with professionals who are saying, “why not stay a little longer?”
This isn’t just a fad. With the rise of remote work, flexible hours, and digital-first roles, people are rethinking how they use travel time. Why fly home Friday afternoon when you could explore a new city, unwind, and log in from somewhere inspiring?
In fact, major travel platforms report that over 60% of professionals have already taken a bleisure trip, and that number is only growing.
Forget cramped hotel rooms or generic apartments. Today’s travellers want something that supports their lifestyle, work, rest, and everything in between. That’s where Octigen Collection comes in.

One of our recent guests, Melissa, a remote marketing consultant, booked a 10-day stay in the Midlands to work with a local client. She extended her stay by four days to explore nearby cities and cafes, calling it “the best work trip I’ve ever had.”
