A systematic literature review is conducted, and a total of 10 critical journal articles are identified in three different databases (Google Scholar, WoS, and Scopus) from 2012 to 2022, a ten-year period from which the review procedure described in this work applies specialized method such as PRISMA. The findings show that researchers frequently found seeking knowledge and novelty, escape, fun, and resting at places that contain cultural and historical, environment and safety, tourist facilities, and convenience as important factors to motivate the bleisure tourist towards visiting leisure attractions during business trips. The theoretical contribution of this study is the provision of systematic literature evaluations, different research techniques, and viewpoints on the motivation of bleisure tourists to visit leisure attractions during business trips.
