Gen Z workers are redefining what “office” means by embracing workations: blended vacations where work and exploration coexist. Recent data shows nearly two-thirds (65%) of full-time Gen Z employees say they’re likely to mix business with leisure during travel - extending work trips to enjoy new environments and recharge rather than simply escape.

This trend isn’t confined to remote beaches or cabins - India alone saw a 28% rise in trips longer than seven days, often work-enabled, while short spontaneous getaways remain popular, accounting for 71% of road travel. The appeal? A calming change of scenery, mental rest, and renewed productivity. In one BBC-reported survey, over 80% of workationers said the experience boosted their creativity and helped manage work stress, with more than two-thirds citing emotional recharging as a key benefit.

As Gen Z prioritizes experiences and well-being over rigid office norms, workations reflect a broader shift toward integrating work and life meaningfully, rather than separating them.
