Logistics Tips for International Groups
For corporate retreats with participants coming from more than 3 different countries, we recommend:
- Open registrations at least 6 weeks in advance to allow everyone to find reasonably priced tickets
- Block a 6-hour arrival window (e.g. 12pm–6pm on Day 1) to accommodate delays and missed connections
- Arrange group private transfers from the airport for participants arriving in similar time slots
- Share public transport options for those who prefer to travel independently
