You're going on a business trip to a beautiful destination, where sunrises and sunsets are magical, the culture is vibrant, the white sandy beaches and deep blue water are ideal for swimming, and the food is delicious. But, there's no time to enjoy all those things since it's a work trip!

To take more advantage of your business trip and enjoy every little moment, even though it's a work trip, here are 5 tricks to make it look like a holiday.

Use your free time to explore 

When your work is done, use the extra time before bedtime to explore the city you are in. Book a city guide to take you around, learn the history and culture and visit other tourist attractions near you.

How about some outdoor exercise?

You might not even like exercising, but a short walk or hike around your hotel’s neighbourhood will give you the time to see more of your new locale. And if you exercise regularly, make it a point to go for a run outside instead of in the hotel fitness centre!  

Explore local eateries 

Perhaps the hotel you are staying at has amazing food, but make sure you explore the destination by visiting the must-see restaurants and eateries and trying out new foods. 

Some shopping anyone?

Shopping is one of the best ways to unwind. Leave a bit of some room in your suitcase and go shopping. After all your family and friends may need a little souvenir.

Extend your holiday

If you are in for a conference or a corporate event, combine with one or two days of your leave holidays to get some downtime. The extra time will give you the chance to visit and see more places of the destination.
