Word of the day: bleisure

The word of the day is bleisure:

It is a portmanteau of business and leisure, and is used to describe what some people claim is a new type of business traveller: one who fits in leisure travel while on the road.

"Microtourism is not glamping (no yurt) or bleisure (no work) or minimooning (no wedding)."
