To build relationships and increase motivation for 1,450 participants from India.

Challenges

Short lead time as the event was decided only 45 days before departure. Logistics was a concern due to the group size.

Results

The trip was conducted smoothly with positive feedback from the participants. The organiser plans to bring a group of 600 to Hong Kong this year.
