Whilst travel as we know it has changed drastically over the last year, we’ve seen a growing demand from business travellers who are looking to work from holiday and book long stay wellness workcations ranging from 30 to 60 nights at a time.
As a result of the pandemic, travellers will undoubtedly take fewer trips but will extend their durations in order to reap the benefits for both business and wellness purposes.
