TUE, JULY 17 2018-theG&BJournal-For some, business travel is a massive job perk–for others, it’s a chore. But when done right, business travel can have many benefits. Jumia Travel, the online travel agency you can trust, shares some of the reasons why business can be so great.
Enjoying everything a new place has to offer
If you’re a foodie, this means looking out for the best restaurants and if your interest is in history, it is an opportunity for you to visit museums and historical sites. Make sure to schedule room in the itinerary for some rest and recuperation, then maximize it.
No routine burnout for you
Simultaneously, humans are creatures of habit but also prone to boredom. If you get tired of doing the same old thing every day, business travel can help keep things interesting. It’s one way to make sure you get out of the rut.
Hone your adaptation skills
Being able to adapt is really admired by employers, friends and family alike. You might have a flight cancelled, struggle to find your hotel or even have your luggage stolen. These lead to lessons that make you a better, more adaptable and receptive person.
Meet new people
Relationships are absolutely essential to the human experience. It can be difficult to nurture new ones when you’re around the exact same people every day, not all of whom you might enjoy the presence of completely. While travelling, you might meet a love interest, new close friend or future employer.
New opportunities for recreation
Have you always wanted to do something exciting and new but don’t live in a region that’s good for it? A business trip to Yankari Games Reserve in Bauchi can change all that. Look into what your new temporary home away from home has to offer in terms of recreation and make the most of it.
Stories to tell
Immerse yourself in those experiences–they’re memories in the making. And that’s what life’s all about. You will have enough stories to tell and discover that spending a lot of time exploring and working far away from your home base is just what you wanted for this period in your life.
