A survey by LateRooms.com Business reveals that nearly a quarter of employees (23%) request an extra night stay when travelling for business.

The results also reveal the top UK destinations for employees to visit in 2017, and what business travellers look for in their hotel preferences, with 73% seeking leisure facilities.

More than four in 10 employees (41%) said they want to travel more for business, the survey noted, with results highlighting a continued boom in bleisure travel in 2017.

London, the Lake District, Edinburgh and Manchester came out as the top destinations for employees to visit in 2017, and LateRooms.com Business predicts this trend will continue through to 2018.

The survey also looked at hotel preferences when booking for business travel. While Wi-Fi and connectivity continue to be a priority for business bookers, LateRooms.com Business also identified that 73% of employees seek leisure facilities (gym, pool, sauna) when travelling, and 39% search for a hotel with an on-site bar or restaurant.

Graeme Descoteaux, head of LateRooms for Business, said: “The demand for staycations within both the consumer and business travel markets shows no signs of abating, and it’s interesting to see employees are now being savvy with their business bookings, using them as an opportunity to take a night away and enjoy cost-effective access to the best of the UK.”

LateRooms.com Business surveyed 1,008 people in the UK in October 2017.
