Deciding on a venue for your corporate meeting is a decision that will have the biggest impact on the success of the event. Gone are the days when corporate functions took place in stuffy rooms with drab interiors, these days, planning an event does not mean limiting yourself to boardrooms and offices for your choice of venue. Whether you’re planning an event for your client or hosting an employee seminar, finding a good backdrop is now essential to lifting the atmosphere of the event.

Tropical countries around the Indian Ocean have become famous for their scenic settings and venues, especially those in Mauritius. Resort and business oriented hotels here, like the InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort, draw big events thanks to the stunning island backdrop. A business oriented resort understands the needs of today’s professionals and thus provides impeccable services and spaces to match.

Planning of the venue’s size, décor and lighting is done perfectly by the resort event planners and then carried out discreetly to create an ideal location to host your event. Something else to consider is the diverse options when it comes to catering for the event. Whether it’s a cocktail or sit down menu, resorts can design a special menu according to the event and any dietary needs your attendees may have.

Another advantage is the availability of modern conference technology to ensure everything runs on time and smoothly. Beautiful settings are a great way to inspire motivation at corporate events and modern meeting venues, whether indoor and outdoor, large or small, which are set in great locations, can make a world of differences to events. Most people don’t remember days, but instead, experiences; you want your attendees to not only absorb the work discussed but feel enriched by it.

While quality is a must, staging your event at a unique location makes it more memorable and enjoyable, and locations like Mauritius are becoming more popular with corporates who wants a successful and enjoyable stay.
