It might be a cliche, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. Visiting new cities, embracing different cultures, and working with colleagues across borders – travel opens many doors that lead to unforgettable experiences.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, travel can also be physically and mentally draining. Hopping from an airport to a boardroom to a hotel and back again, all while away from the comforts of home and family, can take its toll. And getting every ounce of value out of a trip is a constant balancing act between getting from A to B and managing the stress of being away.<\/p>\n In this article, we give 5 ways that travel can lead to burnout and how travellers and travel bookers can better<\/strong> manage the impact it can have on mental health.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#5-ways” button_text=”Explore more” admin_label=”BUTTON- Explore More” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”bg-image-column” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Woman-Working-Late-Intro-WEB.jpg” box_shadow_style=”preset4″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”SECTION – 5 Ways Business Travel Burnout” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(91,140,177,0.8) 0%|rgba(91,140,177,0.8) 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Urban-Arches-Background-WEB-scaled.jpg” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”ROW – 5 Ways Business Travel Burnout” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1280px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”HEADER – 5 Ways Business Travel Burnout” module_id=”5-ways” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”5%||1%||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”HEADER – And what you can do” module_id=”5-ways” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_4_text_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”1%||5%||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”ROW – 1.

Flights can be delayed or cancelled. It pushes us headfirst into the world of the unknown, and that can be scary.<\/p>\n In fact, according to a report published in the Journal of Mental Health<\/a>, 79% of studies reported a positive association between uncertainty and mental health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”CALLOUT – 2.

They might log in at an airport while waiting for a flight or take a call in the lobby of a hotel, often with no regard as to whether it’s part of their ordinary working day. It’s a symptom of taking something with structure (their day-to-day work) into a territory where the rules have changed. And it can lead to someone working longer hours and pushing themselves to their limits.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”CALLOUT – 4.

This is far from being a problem reserved for those looking to chisel a summer six-pack. Numerous studies show that there’s an inextricable link between maintaining physical health and keeping the brain in tip-top shape. In fact, according to the Mental Health Foundation<\/a>, adults achieving recommended physical activity levels have a 25% lower risk of depression.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”CALLOUT – 5.

But it can also be stressful. It can take people away from their friends and family, sometimes weeks at a time, and normal routines tend to go out of the window. Plus, the added pressure of feeling as though more time needs to be squeezed out of days that have been “lost” due to getting from one place to another can be exhausting.<\/p>\n But burnout can be avoided. By encouraging team check-ins, avoiding unnecessary “red-eye” flights, encouraging rest and recovery, and more, travellers can get the absolute most out of their trip and return feeling more inspired
