Morphology
bleisure + travel
The phrase is a blend of 'business' + 'leisure' combined with 'travel', so its meaning 'travel that combines business and leisure activities' is partly inferable from the parts. However, 'bleisure' is a nonce portmanteau (not a standard morpheme) and may be unfamiliar or orthographically opaque to B1 learners, so the relation is only partially predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Bleisure travel comes from mixing the words business and leisure, so imagine someone packing a briefcase and a beach towel for the same trip. That's why it means travelling for both 'work' and 'free time'.
