The Industry

Corporate retreats are back in full force. After years of virtual happy hours and pixelated team bonding, companies are embracing in-person off-sites to boost engagement, well-being and team cohesion. And the numbers back it up:

• A €100B Market: The corporate retreat sector is a growing slice of the broader corporate events market, projected to surpass $500 billion by 2030.

• Budget Reallocation: With fewer expenses tied to physical offices, remote and hybrid companies are investing heavily in off-sites, especially in Europe and South America, where retreat demand is surging.

• Employee Happiness: Studies show that just the anticipation of a retreat can increase employee happiness by 18%.

• Productivity Boosts: Productivity can rise by 13% post-retreat, as employees build stronger relationships and return re-energized.

• Burnout Prevention: Retreats offer much-needed mental and physical recharge time, helping companies tackle remote work fatigue.

Trends shaping this resurgence include a 200% jump in nature-focused retreats, longer average stays (from 3 to 5 nights) and hybrid event structures that mix strategic work sessions with leisure.

As demand skyrockets, startups are rushing to fill gaps in retreat planning, wellness integration, and tech-enabled event execution. With companies trying to minimize administrative tasks, research and endless proposal pitches, vertically integrated solutions seem like an optimal choice.
