and venues for planners of senior corporate travel, meetings
and social events
This is your page if you plan events for senior corporate
executives, arrange their travel or manage social events
for people looking for something unique and special.
Executive Traveller trawls the world to find you exquisite
venues, means and destinations that will help you make a
statement. While selecting venues and destinations we explore
the opportunities for incentives and other entertainment
that your team can enjoy during the course of their event.
If
you have landed on this page then you are probably
the planner and organizer at work. You see the whole
picture and probably use post-it-notes and planner
lists to keep things running smoothly. Attention to
detail comes through when the pieces all come together.
All of this - comes naturally to you! The question
is whether this is a 'side duty' as part of your job
or do you take it upon yourself?
The Executive Traveller social planner kit is filled
with theme ideas, 'business etiquette, worksheets
and examples. The Executive Traveller kit is complete
because it includes venues, checklists, forms, worksheets,
ideas and the nuts and bolts of enhancing that corporate
image. It will make you look great as well! |

Business
and Corporate Events
Business socials and entertaining are an important
aspect of public relations, company recognition, employee
morale and further business opportunities.
The process of planning any event involves having
a list and some forethought. Most planners thrive
on lists and sticky notes. It can be as simple as
food, table decorations, gifts and invitations. Accommodating
your guests, creating a theme, and properly presenting
your main table are also important. If you were to
role-play the entire event out in your mind, in advance,
you would be able to capture vital details needed,
how you serve your food, convenience for your guests
and how to prevent disasters. Put some thought into
the nature of the event. If it is a bridal tea, perhaps
the inclusion of time-honoured traditions could be
included.
