Hands Up Holidays specialises in trips blending both community service with relaxation or adventure. This works well for companies that are seeking to both reward employees and also improve their Corporate Social Responsibility profile; ideal for:
- Incentive trips
- Team building trips
These trips are formulated after close consultation with your Senior Management and HR regarding the goals for your organisation.
Many of our community development projects are excellent team building opportunities for companies – building a house is a great example.
We offer corporate house building trips in:
Fiji
Mexico
Guatemala
Uganda
The duration of these trips is flexible – from as few as five to eight days, or longer if desired.
In addition to the excellent tour leader who will accompany your team throughout, we can also arrange for a specialist team building facilitator to accompany your team as well. The choice is yours.
