Choosing where to take your team
The right destination depends on what your event needs to do. A conference needs easy access and good venues. An incentive trip needs a sense of reward. A leadership retreat needs quiet and space to think. A company trip needs something for everyone.
These guides cover what each destination is like for corporate groups: how to get there, the best seasons, the kinds of venues available, team activities that work there, and a sample program you can adapt.

Questions planners ask
Can one trip combine several destinations?
Yes. Hanoi plus Ha Long Bay or Ninh Binh is the most popular combination for two to four day programs.
Which destination is best for large groups?
Hanoi and Ha Long have the most large venues and hotels. Ninh Binh suits medium groups; Sa Pa and Mai Chau suit smaller ones.
Do you run team building in all these places?
Yes. We adapt our team building events to each location and season.
When is the best time to travel in the north?
October to April is generally cooler and drier. Each guide explains the seasons for that destination.
