New data from Airbnb has revealed that a whopping 70 per cent of Aussies combine leisure stays with work trips.

That’s 40 per cent higher than the rest of the world!

And one of the biggest Aussie ‘bleisure’ opportunities is just around the corner: the Spring Racing Carnival, where racegoers are combining work trips to Melbourne with a visit to trackside to watch the race that stops the nation.

To help you combine business with pleasure, Airbnb has put together a round-up of work-friendly listings in Melbourne that are perfect for accommodating a business trip alongside a trackside visit to Flemington.
