First of all, not all people like to work in an area where business travel is required. In fact, many are those who prefer to stay in the office, or in the company in general, carrying out their activities in the specific workplace every day.

However, even if you're part of the group that doesn't like this type of activity, there are ways to make your business trip more enjoyable and more productive! In addition to being an excellent business opportunity, the trip can also result in moments of leisure, without jeopardizing the professional side. Check out some tips below!

Search and plan

First, it is worth remembering that on a business trip you will not be busy 24 hours a day. That is, there will also be moments of rest, where you can enjoy the place and enjoy the activities available at your destination. However, this requires knowledge and planning!

In fact, even before boarding, make sure that everything is right with your accommodation reservation, if there will be someone waiting for you at the airport, or even if you will need to rent a vehicle. If there is someone responsible for taking care of all these details, confirm with that person that everything is in order for your arrival.

In addition, it is interesting to research the destination in advance to find out about the climate, activities available in the city, gastronomy, among others. This makes it easier to plan what you would like to do in your spare time and understand what your options are.

Electronics

Although it is a tip considered quite obvious, many end up forgetting to take it into account during a business trip. Well, we are talking about chargers and electronic devices! First of all, it's interesting to remember to recharge your cell phone, notebook, tablet, headphones and even portable chargers.

By the way, if you're driving to your next destination, it's interesting to have a loaded and ready-to-use GPS available with you. In addition, it is interesting that you have more than one means of communication until you reach your destination, in case of emergencies.

Also, if you are packing to go or to return, take the time to make a checklist. That way, you'll avoid forgetting your electronics chargers at home or when you leave the hotel where you're staying. It sure makes a difference!

Documents

Here is another tip that many people end up not paying attention to before traveling, the necessary documents. By the way, if you are going to travel abroad, it is imperative that you check documents such as passport and visa in advance to avoid headaches at the time of boarding!

In addition, it is interesting to take precautions, especially on a business trip. So try to scan the most important documents and keep them archived in your notebook, email and cell phone. That way, in the event of loss, theft or theft, you'll have easy access to them in an emergency.

Check company rules for business travel

First of all, if you are moving from your city for work reasons, then it is important to make sure that no labor laws are broken during the process. In this sense, it is worth remembering that the entire journey time is already considered hours worked by law.

That is, if you exceed the duration of your daily work, the company must account for overtime for payment. In addition, there is also the possibility of accumulating bank hours that can be discounted in future journeys.

Also, be sure to make it clear what expenses the company will cover for your trip. Even if transportation, lodging and food are obligations of your company, there are other extra expenses that may or may not come out of your pocket.

In addition, you may also have to ask for an invoice at the establishments to get the refund. Therefore, try to clarify with your superior what the rules are for your trip and avoid headaches in the future.

Finally, it's not just leisure travel that can benefit from an itinerary! In this sense, organization and planning can make a world of difference when it comes to organizing your professional day-to-day. By the way, by making a script, you can streamline your activities, so that you have free time to enjoy with leisure and rest.

So, carefully organize the places where you need to visit for work, try to find out how long it will take to get there from your accommodation. Another interesting point is to try to schedule different meetings in nearby places, perhaps in a restaurant or company that is in the same side of the city as you.

Therefore, organize the logistics and put together a good work itinerary, in order to respect your rest hours so that you can also enjoy what the city has to offer. That way, you'll have a stress-free business trip and be able to enjoy your leisure time!
