Relaxation. Spas, mountain retreats, cruise ships and beach resorts are the preferred destinations. Accommodation and meeting facilities often employ separate venues, according to convenience. Daytime programmes are usually composed of sub-group meetings and brain-storming sessions, with the afternoon and evening often adopting a ‘free-and-easy’ style. Activities such as ‘mind-and-body’ treatment, sun-bathing, sight-seeing, shopping, water-sports and local cultural shows are popular diversions.
