And it's that: why limit yourself to holding events in offices or conference rooms, when we can be in a natural environment that enriches the experience, enhances creativity and team cohesion , and works on sustainability in the business world ?
In this post we invite you to explore all the benefits of organizing a company event at a rural hotel.
Looking for unique experiences for company events
Company events are an essential part of working life. They are an opportunity for companies to connect with their customers, train their employees and generate new ideas.
In recent years, business events have undergone a major change. Companies are increasingly looking for spaces that offer a unique and memorable experience, and a country hotel is a perfect setting to achieve this, while encouraging team concentration and creativity.
Whether for an internal company event , aimed at employees and shareholders, or an external event , aimed at customers, suppliers or the media, celebrating them in the middle of nature has many benefits:
● Privacy and comfort: Intimacy, contact with nature and the feeling of disconnection are a good reason to choose a natural environment for company events. The opportunity to connect with nature, breathe fresh air and be in relaxed spaces, away from the city, is very positive for the business world.
● Concentration: The rural hotels are located in quiet and isolated spaces, which allow you to focus on the event as such. This is relevant for companies that are looking for a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for their meeting, and that want to promote networking and give space for the emergence of new ideas.
● Originality: Company events in a rural hotel are an original way to get out of the routine. This can help businesses create a unique and memorable experience for their customers and employees.
Attendees of this type of MICE event are usually people with a heavy workload, and a rural getaway can be very positive for improving work performance.
How to choose the best venue for a company event in a rural environment?
When choosing a rural hotel to hold a company event, you need to take these points into account:
● Location: Thinking about a hotel that is far enough from the city, but which is easy to get to is essential to be able to take advantage of the time of stay. Thinking about locations in the middle of nature, away from the dust and noise of the city, but easily accessible and with all the services, is essential to facilitate the organization and guarantee the success of the event.
● Space: You need to define well the type of event you are looking for, which has enough space to carry out the activities you have in mind: conferences, talks, group sessions, etc.
● Services: Consider taking into account all the services offered by the rural hotel for your business event: How is the catering service? Do you have good audiovisual equipment and a good internet connection? Does it have leisure activities?
● Sustainability: This point is essential if what you want is to offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly business event. Be sure to check the hotel's environmental policy and review the small details, such as the materials used for catering.
