Bringing your family along may actually make good business sense when your job takes you away from home. With travel industry experts predicting an overall increase in daily hotel rates combining work and pleasure not only helps keep the family together but could save you money.

Half of all business professionals include a leisure component in their work-related travels, with more than 70 percent planning to bring family with them on trips this year.

To ensure successful "combination" travel for you and your family, consider these tips.

A family-friendly hotel with business services is what you can choose. By staying at a hotel with services such as free high-speed Internet access, free roll-out beds and kids-stay-free programs, and free breakfast, you will have more money to spend on activities and attractions.

Have you tried taking advantage or loyalty programs? In order to qualify for free air miles and hotel room nights, you could take advantage of these incentive clubs if you travel frequently on business. Travelers can also earn special rewards faster with seasonal promotions. An example would be a collectible Nickelodeon "The Fairly Odd Parents" Travel Card worth $50 will be given to members of the Best Western's free Gold Crown Club International program who stay six nights at any Best Western hotel between June 4 and August 19.

Make sure you don't forget Fido. The biggest source of stress for many travelers is figuring out what to do with the family pet before you go on any trip. Today, there are many hotels that welcome pets which is why it is now possible to keep the whole family together.

A hotel with a water park is what you can try to find. Every year, the attendance at North American water parks is increasing at a rate of 3 percent which is why hotels offer this unique amenity on-site. Your kids will thank you for this.

You should be flexible and try to have fun and relax. Keep in mind that schedules can change and sometimes meetings may come up or the kids could get sick so everyone needs to be flexible.

The next time you have a business trip, it could be a mini vacation with the family.
