Yes, there can be more to business trips than business

Jeanne Achille used to find business travel "really depressing" because she never got to sightsee in the places she was visiting.

"I literally would be in a meeting room in the hotel and then go to the airport," she said.

But these days, Achille, CEO of The Devon Group, which does public relations and marketing for tech firms, is "quite intentional" about flying in early for a business trip or staying over an extra day "to squeeze in a side trip, a spa visit, try out a top restaurant or similar activity."
