„In this special issue we discover the conference and bleisure options available in Switzerland. We also successfully try out workations in Namibia and the Maldives. And we have launched our exclusive airline check series, Work@sky.” Sylvie Konzack und Kai Böcking
Many people have often been to Switzerland for a quick business meeting. But the Alpine republic also offers a wealth of opportunities for conferences and congresses (MICE), including magnificent panoramic views. “And it goes without saying that staying on for some bleisure time to go hiking, skiing, or on city trips brings many wow moments,” says Sylvie Konzack, editor-in-chief and co-publisher of Bleisure Traveller. “I was in Bern and Lucerne for our Switzerland special and was more than impressed.”
Co-publisher Kai Böcking also took on a workation safari in Namibia under the title “Between Laptop and Leopard.” Ulf-Gunnar Switalski, who has primarily reviewed loyalty programs for Bleisure Traveller to date, spent several workation weeks in the Maldives and presents affordable solutions. Claudia Brüggen, who works as an illustrator and journalist and is almost permanently on the road, looks at the country’s development from insider tip to mass phenomenon for workation and remote work in her story on Portugal.
And “Nina in Nomad Land” – Nina Winkler, who has been living and working entirely on the road with her 14-year-old son for around three years and writes about it in Bleisure Traveller – reports this time in a big interview with her son about the respective challenges worldwide, WiFi adventures, everyday online schooling and work, as well as their longings and further plans.
Lot’s of checks und an interview with Barbara Schöneberger
“In addition, we have launched our new exclusive section Worklsky, which reviews airlines, lounges, and airports on their Wi-Fi promises. I was on the road with Finnair for this,” reports co-editor Kai Böcking. In the bonus programs section, Ulf-Gunnar Switalski takes a closer look at KrisFlyer and Hilton Honors.
Finally, the magazine spoke to Accor about workation and bleisure policies for employees: The hotel group offers its employees at its head office twelve workation days and has had excellent experiences with this.
A highlight at the end: Barbara Schöneberger answered questions in our “My life as a bleisure traveler” section. The well-known television and radio presenter spoke to us about her lack of desire for splurging, her faded wanderlust, and suitcases.
The new issue of Bleisure Traveller is now available in gates and lounges at airports in Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Zurich, Vienna, London, and Milan. It can also be downloaded from the media libraries of numerous airlines and Deutsche Bahn.
