Driven Travel

Corporate Retreats = Learning, Not Logistics

Corporations are increasingly demanding results-oriented, goal-driven retreats from their organizations. Corporate retreats must inspire participants to solve real problems rather than simply entertain employees. Companies that have embraced this reality look for inspiring and unusual environments to foster creative, innovative, problem solving gatherings.

In our opinion, companies have traditionally looked for inspiration in the wrong places: hotels & resorts. The last great thought to come out of a resort off-site was the conviction to never do it again. Our corporate trips take people to places where conventional thinking simply doesn’t work. Environments that challenge you to think are the only environments capable of affecting real, sustainable change. We believe that fundamental change only occurs when retreats are staged in a truly innovative, unique, creative and holistic way.

Experiential Travel can be a catalyst in truly transforming people – forcing them to alter their perspective to "see new things and to see old things in a new way."

Corporate ROI is About Lasting Impressions


We understand how to design an experience - that has a lasting effect beyond its consumption, whether that lasting effect is in the form of a life-long memory or retention of learning – either way it is the memory that extends the experience over time. Staging experiences that resonate over time is not just about entertainment but rather about engaging all the participants in a program that finds the “sweet spot” across five different experience realms: Entertainment; Educational; Activity/Immersion; Environment/Destination; Sensory.

We make it easy -by taking care of all the details and distractions, arranging the necessary props, assembling the cast of local players, and otherwise setting the mise-en-scene for the theatre of travel. On our Driventravel trips, your team may find themselves spontaneously joining a game of boules with the village elders in Provence, getting lost in the hypnotic ballet of the wildebeest migration, sharing vodka around a Polish dinner table with a survivor of Soviet occupation, or taking the stage to act out a part in an off-Broadway play. Whether it is sailing along the banks of the Perfume River in Vietnam, riding an ox-cart through the deserted ruins of Bagan, or perusing vegetables in an open-air market in a Tuscan hill-town, the destination is just the beginning of the journey.

It’s not a ropes course – we promise! – From our perspective, corporate off sites that employ physical hardship, endurance and deprivation miss the point – the travel element of the off site is simply the catalyst to help move people out of their comfort zones (since people don’t change their behaviour when they are comfortable). Our view of the “adventure” aspect of corporate travel is that is should be about “challenging your own internal limits of daring”, not ropes courses and traditional team-building exercises. After all, Driventravel is a small group luxury travel company….
