This time, our travels took us to Germany, Korea, the Dominican Republic and Andalusia, amongst other places. The new print edition of Bleisure Traveller is available at major DACH airports, in the railway lounge and at selected hotels, and can be downloaded from the media libraries with immediate effect.
According to the latest figures from the Bleisure & Workation Monitor Germany, 81 per cent of German business travellers stay in Germany for bleisure. “Reason enough for us to embark on a journey through Germany in this new issue. We ‘bleisure’ed’ in Frankfurt, Nuremberg and Dresden, and went on workations – with our child on the Baltic Sea and with our dog at Lake Chiemsee. What a wealth of variety right on our doorstep,” say Sylvie Konzack and Kai Böcking, founders and publishers of Bleisure Traveller.
In addition, anyone interested in the robust figures – collected for the first time – on the bleisure and workation market in Germany will find a summary of the findings from the study by the Bavarian Centre for Tourism (commissioned by the VDR and GCB) as well as the ‘Bleisure & Workation Monitor Germany’ study (IU University of Applied Sciences). The detailed figures are available online here.
We also report on the inaugural summit of the Blend_it! initiative in Frankfurt, featuring eleven action steps for more bleisure.
Loneliness, winter workations, around-the-world trips
Another highlight of the new issue: our writer Claudia Brüggen has tackled the topic of loneliness on long-term trips and, in her fascinating article, describes how we need new social skills both whilst travelling and in everyday life. Our new contributor, Carina Neumann-Mahlkau, reports on how this worked out during two winter workation seasons in Andalusia in Spain. Welcome to the team, Carina!
The feature with work culture specialist, podcaster and author Kira Marie Cremer is both fascinating and self-critical, exploring remote work whilst travelling the world and the extent to which ‘New Work’ needs a different term today. And in our Work@Sky section – working above the clouds – we’ve put Turkish Airlines to the test this time, whilst our loyalty expert Ulf-Gunnar Switalski has taken a closer look at the ALL Accor and Avios loyalty programmes.
The German-English print edition of *Bleisure Traveller* (Autumn/Herbst 2026) is available at gates and in lounges at airports in Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf and Stuttgart, as well as in Zurich and Vienna. You’ll also find the magazine in Deutsche Bahn lounges and at selected hotels. The magazine can also be downloaded from the media libraries of airlines, Deutsche Bahn and hotels.
