There are few better ways to foster professional relationships, and bolster morale, than the right kind of luxury trip. As such, many high-performing businesses invest significant resources in taking key personnel on these kinds of experiences.
A luxury trip is a way of rewarding good performance. It might also unite your team in a shared sense of awe, which can have positive psychological consequences that are felt for months, or even years, afterwards. If you’ve witnessed a sufficiently awesome spectacle in the company of your colleagues, then you might feel a particular kind of bond with them. This kind of unity can be a boon to the wider business.
But exactly what form might luxury travel take? Let’s take a look at a few worthy options.
Exclusive Corporate Retreats
Some retreats, including hotels, are designed with the needs of corporate clients in mind. These might be able to offer top-tier luxury, including spas, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a myriad of other features. But they might also be able to offer the facilities that your team needs to actually get work done, including meeting rooms and internet connectivity.
Private Jet Travel & First-Class Flights
Getting from one place to another is a necessary part of your business travel arrangements. Commercial airliners, however, can often be a source of major stress and hassle. Your team might arrive at their destination feeling exhausted. They might also lose the opportunity to work and bond while they’re in the air. This is a problem that first-class travel – or, if you have the resources, a private jet – can deal with.
Luxury Cruises & Yacht Charters
Travel by sea is slower than travel by air – but, if you book passage on the right vessel, sea travel can afford your team ample opportunities for leisure and relaxation. In fact, some ships can offer exactly the same combination of features as a world-class hotel. If you charter a luxury yacht, then you might even be able to tailor your itinerary to meet the particular needs of your business. For example, you might move from a conference in Athens to a tour of the Aegean Sea.
VIP Access to Events & Experiences
There are certain one-off events and experiences that only a select few people can benefit from. If you want to provide your team with a once-in-a-lifetime reward, then ringside seats at the right boxing match, or VIP tickets at the Champions League Final, or the Super Bowl, might be exactly the way to do it.
