20.01.20Mindful Meetings is a progressive global initiative by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. Mandarin Oriental hotels are a popular choice for meetings, conferences, training and events of all sizes. From opulent ballrooms with private outdoor space to intimate, high-tech rooms with balconies and a view, the hotel chain offers some of the best corporate spaces across the globe.
Now when you arrange corporate events at Mandarin Oriental you can also promote wellness amongst attendees. Mindful Meetings is the creative concept that aims to invigorate, inspire and engage your audience. The goal is to leave participants less stressed and more focused and productive. This is particularly beneficial for training or meetings with important goals to achieve.
You may also choose additional packages to include before or after the event to further benefit wellness. This is aimed more towards meetings where participants also have an overnight room. Things to think about would be further networking activities, a spa treatment or complimentary amenities.
Do you have an upcoming business trip to plan? Perhaps you are arranging key global stakeholders to one location for an important business meeting?
We can provide flights, rooms, transfers and also book event space or help you put together a Mindful Meetings programme. Get in touch with us today to find out more or read more about us here.
Creative Resins has been at the forefront of decorative glass technology for over 30 years. When Louise contacted us to help with a trip to Oman, we discovered that the company had been using an airline’s website to book direct, paying in excess of £5,000 per trip in Business Class. Using our negotiated fares on this one flight YourTravel saved over £1000 per trip. Upon further investigation and a year’s great relationship, we delved into the companies travel policies and booking habits. We found that travel was often booked at the last minute and there was no one in authority to keep a watchful eye over what was being booked and where. We then worked with Louise to create passenger profiles for all of Creative Resins travellers including details such as preferred seat numbers, meals and airlines – we also set in place cabin restrictions (who can and can’t travel in an upgraded travel class). We then looked at the company’s calendar for the coming year, estimating when and where they would need to book travel and agreed that Your Travel would be proactive in trying to get confirmed travel dates from 4 weeks prior to the trip dates. This created a stress-free booking system that took budget and organisational pressure from the senior management, knowing they would always be working with a cost-effective travel budget. This lead to a reduced travel spend of just over 16% without cost-cutting and maintaining a high level of service.
‘’Working with Your Travel Corporate has been an enlightening experience, we were wasting money on travel and working with John and the team was very easy indeed. Everything is taken care of on every trip and we get a level of service that just can’t be achieved by the bigger travel agents, being treated as a valued client and not just another customer is fantastic!’’ Louise Bollom, Director
