Team building with your coworkers doesn't have to be the same ol' same name games and pyramid building in the office, it can be out of the box vacations across the country or just across the state, getting out of your comfort zone and into a setting in which you can truly bond with and rely on your team members.
The Spirit of Team Building Credit Stockfresh
Here at Group Tours we offer companies big and small the opportunity to travel as a group and participate in unforgettable team-building vacations, whether your group is looking to relax and have fun as a team or make a serious impact on local communities. We believe that the best way to bond as a group is to travel as a group, but how do you know what kind of team-building vacation would be best for your particular company? Take a look below at our top suggestions and then give us a call to set up your company outing!
- Ski Vacations - Many big-league companies like to treat their employees to some time on the slopes to bond and reward them for a job well done. Ski trips are very easy to turn into team-building vacations, as your group can spend time taking lessons together, riding the lifts together, and showing off your skills at the end of your trip as a team. The evenings can be filled with company dinners and drinks, making this both a fun and effective team-building opportunity for groups of all sizes and interests.

Lending a Helping Hand Team Building Credit Stockfresh
Meaningful Missions - Taking your company out for team building activities doesn't always have to mean simply having fun and enjoying yourselves, in fact, we believe the more challenging the task at hand is the more bonding your group will experience. That is why we highly recommend taking on a more meaningful mission such as building shelters for the homeless, volunteering at various soup kitchens and/or shelters, and cleaning up after disasters for true company team building. These activities prove to be rewarding and also ensure a deeper connection with your company members as you help each other help others.

- All-Inclusive Resorts - On the other end of the spectrum, sometimes all your group really needs to bond and connect is to relax in the pool with a drink, or two, in their hands. While all-inclusive resorts don't exactly ring 'team-building' at first, there are ALWAYS local activities to participate in that do. Places like Riviera Maya near Cancun offer local deep-sea fishing excursions, scuba experiences, ropes courses, village exploration, and much more that allows your group to experience challenging and memorable moments far away from home, building their bond in a deeper way than before.
