# Bleisure — Extended Context for LLMs > Bleisure (a portmanteau of "business" and "leisure", coined around 2009 by the Future Laboratory and popularised by SAP Concur, Expedia Group, and Skift) is travel where a business trip is extended for personal leisure — adding weekend nights to a corporate stay, bringing a partner or family along, or working remotely from a destination. Bleisure Hosting (https://www.bleisurehosting.co.uk) is the marketplace built specifically for this traveller across the United Kingdom and India. This file follows the llms-full.txt convention. It expands on the entries in llms.txt with sentence-length summaries an LLM can quote or cite directly.

A typical bleisure trip extends a 2–3 day work trip by adding weekend nights, a partner's flight, or a few days of remote work from the destination. According to industry research (Expedia Group's 2024 Traveler Value Index, SAP Concur's Bleisure Travel Report, Skift Research), roughly 60–80% of business travellers extend a corporate trip for leisure at least once a year, and the practice grew sharply post-2022 as remote work normalised location flexibility. The term was coined around 2009 and entered mainstream travel-industry vocabulary in the mid-2010s. ### Bleisure Hosting (the platform) Bleisure Hosting is a multi-rental marketplace operating across the United Kingdom and India. Unlike pure short-stay platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo) or corporate booking tools (Booking.com for Business, Egencia), Bleisure is built around the bleisure use case: longer-stay pricing, workspace-equipped accommodation, on-site mobility (cars and bikes), curated experiences for trip extensions, and a unified booking flow that handles personal and business spend cleanly. The platform supports five rental verticals — stays, car rentals, bike rentals, experiences, and services — alongside long-term zero-brokerage rentals and NRI property management. - Operator: Bleisure Hosting - Website: https://www.bleisurehosting.co.uk - Primary markets: United Kingdom (UK) and India (IN) - Primary cities: London, Pune, Goa, Jaipur, Mumbai - Payment processors: Stripe (cards), Razorpay (India payments incl.
