For the modern executive, the lines between work and leisure are increasingly blurred. With packed travel schedules, global responsibilities, and the growing value placed on wellness and personal time, it’s no surprise that bleisure—the blend of business and leisure travel—is no longer a trend, but an expectation.
And while the idea of extending a business trip to include a few days of rest and recharge might sound simple, the reality for personal assistants (PAs) and executive assistants (EAs) is anything but. Curating unforgettable leisure experiences around complex business itineraries requires time, contacts, and local insight—none of which are easy to source at short notice.
Enter 1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG): the trusted travel partner that takes bleisure travel from “nice idea” to “seamless reality.” With a global network of independent travel advisors and curated supplier relationships around the world, we give PAs and EAs the power to plan exceptional, tailored experiences—without adding to their workload.
The rise of bleisure—and what it means for PAs
In a post-pandemic world where flexibility is prized and burnout is a real concern, executives are more likely than ever to extend work trips for a little downtime. Whether it’s a weekend escape after a high-pressure board meeting or arriving a few days early to reset before a global conference, bleisure travel is fast becoming part of the corporate rhythm.
But for staff managing jam-packed diaries, fluctuating schedules, and the constant juggling act of executive priorities, adding a leisure layer to a business trip can feel daunting.
That’s where 1000MTG steps in—to make it effortless.
From boardroom to beachfront—without the stress
Our advisors specialise in blending corporate efficiency with curated leisure. We understand the nuances of business travel—the tight timelines, the shifting agendas, the preferences and priorities of high-level travellers—and we apply that same professionalism to the leisure side.
So, when a PA or EA calls and says, “My exec has a meeting in Miami, can we add three days in the Caribbean?”, we don’t just book a hotel. We build a complete experience. Flights, transfers, accommodation, activities, restaurant reservations, wellness treatments, it’s all handled. Smoothly. Stylishly. And most importantly, without you having to lift a finger beyond making the request.
“A client recently asked me to arrange flights, accommodation, and park passes for Disney World Orlando. I secured a Virtuoso package at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, where they were upgraded on arrival to a Deluxe Fireworks Room with spectacular views. The hotel team was exceptional — not only did they help organize park passes, but when the airline misplaced my clients’ baggage, they went above and beyond. From complimentary drinks and meals to thoughtful treats, the staff made sure my clients felt cared for while working tirelessly to track down the missing bags,” Rick Fisher, 1000MTG Travel Advisor.
We manage the logistics, so you can manage your executive.
Global network. Local magic.
What truly sets 1000MTG apart is our access to extraordinary, hyper-local experiences through our global advisor and supplier network. This means no cookie-cutter itineraries, no generic packages, and no mass-market tourist traps.
Instead, think:
- A private vineyard tour and lunch with a winemaker in the hills of Tuscany
- A bespoke sushi masterclass with a fifth-generation chef in Tokyo
- A guided hiking and hot spring wellness retreat in the Blue Mountains, post-conference in Sydney
- A curated art tour of Paris, followed by an evening at a hidden jazz club
- A beachfront villa stay in Bali, complete with yoga, spa treatments, and a private chef
These aren’t just leisure add-ons—they’re soul-filling, memory-making experiences that turn routine business travel into something truly special.
And because our advisors live and work in the destinations we serve and are incredibly well-travelled, they offer insight you won’t find on Google or ChatGPT. They know what’s new, what’s overhyped, and what your executive will actually love.
One point of contact. Total peace of mind.
One of the biggest challenges PAs face with bleisure requests is managing multiple suppliers, think travel agents, concierges, hoteliers, tour companies, and more. It’s a lot to coordinate, especially when you’re also managing business agendas, diary changes, and executive communications.
With 1000MTG, you don’t have to.
Your dedicated travel advisor acts as your single point of contact for everything—from the business itinerary to the bleisure escape. Need a multi-leg journey with split billing? No problem. Want leisure bookings kept separate from corporate arrangements? We’ve got it covered. Need to upgrade the leisure hotel mid-trip because the exec loved it so much? We’ll make it happen.
We build holistic itineraries that make sense for your executive’s schedule—and your own peace of mind.
