VIVA – Despite the potential for a global economic recession in 2023, traveling is still a passion for people. Many people like traveling to calm their minds or forget about work or their daily activities for a while.

So, what about travel trend in 2023? According to data from Pegipegi Travel Report 2022, Workcation or Business Leisure will become a travel trend in 2023. Here's the explanation. 

Workcation or Bleisure Continues to Increase

Workcation means a vacation that one spends getting work done. In Indonesia, especially, most companies have seen the positive impact of work-from-home or flexible working arrangement policies, both in terms of the quality of corporate life and business performance.

This has also resulted in the emergence of the workcation trend where one works or conducts their business activities while on vacation with a departure time on Thursday or Friday and returns on the weekend.

Moreover, according to a recent survey of 2,000 remote and remote-flexible workers, 80% would consider working remotely from a vacation destination as a way to extend the length of their trip, as quoted from the Nypost site.

Meanwhile, Bleisure is a term used to describe travel that combines both business and leisure, by not committing to one purpose solely. People on a business leisure trip will typically add some extra days to their business trip to relax.

Staycation in the best accommodation that is affordable from where you live is a practical choice, besides being practical and affordable, this trend will remain in demand because it allows travelers to do fun activities with family members, friends, or couples.

Most accommodation services have also evolved from just a place to stay, to a place to spend quality vacation time.

For example, talking with family while watching streaming movies, taking children to play in the swimming pool, mini zoo, and playground, to having dinner with your partner at the hotel restaurant.
