JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa adds to Popular Teambuilding Programs

In addition to existing programs, including its popular “Survivor Phuket”, the JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa has expanded its range of teambuilding options both on and off property, including a fun-filled Tuk Tuk Rally.

Additionally, the resort as added a new series of events for Meeting and Incentive groups called “JW Executive Tours” – all of which can be tailored to suit a client’s individual requirements.

Teambuilding is an excellent way to introduce an educational, fun-filled activity into a conference program and often is the highlight of the conference. Participants are required to co-operate and share resources to succeed, which also provides opportunities for building trust, tolerance and understanding that can then be used in both professional and personal situations.

All programs include a welcome banner, station flags, bandanas for team members, complete with company logo, as well as instructions for each event. Corporate clients and meeting planners can now choose from the following options – choosing a program to suit the theme of the conference – or even build the conference theme around the event.
