THAT’S WHAT RESULTS FROM A SURVEY CONDUCTED BY ONE POLL ON BEHALF OF VISIT ANAHEIM SHOW.

THEY ASKED 2,000 PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRAVELED FOR WORK ABOUT HOW THEY COMBINE BUSINESS WITH LEISURE.

ON AVERAGE RESPONDENTS ONLY LAST TWO AND A HALF DAYS ON LOCATION BEFORE FEELING THE NEED TO GET OUT AND EXPLORE.

THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY TWO IN THREE (65%) HAVE TAKEN A “BLEISURE” TRIP, WHERE THEY EITHER ARRIVED AT THEIR DESTINATION EARLY OR EXTENDED THEIR STAY AFTER FINISHING WORK.

CALIFORNIA WAS REVEALED TO BE THE TOP DESTINATION FOR A WORK TRIP (27%), FOLLOWED BY FLORIDA (22%), WITH NEW YORK (18%) ROUNDING OUT THE TOP THREE STATES.
