Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts has launched a new global meetings and events concept, Meaningful Connections, combining business with the rejuvenation of mind, body and soul.

With the continued growth of the meetings and events market around the world, Meaningful Connections has been developed to cater to the needs of event planners and organisations as they seek new destinations and different experiences.

“At Banyan Tree we aim to deliver the perfect balance between business and rejuvenation to make any event a truly unique experience,” said David Spooner, vice president sales and marketing, Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts.

“Our locations and resorts allow delegates to get away from it all, in a highly motivating setting, and focus purely on meetings and events that inspires creativity and out of the box thinking.”

To help event and meeting planners find that perfect location for their next occasion, Banyan Tree’s new Meaningful Connections microsite has been developed in English and Chinese. 

This microsite features extensive information detailing key Banyan Tree destinations, seating capacity and styles, unique experiences and dining options for groups, large and small. 

A request for proposal option ensures personalised and tailored information is communicated to the event planner promptly.

The philosophy behind every Banyan Tree resort is to create a Sanctuary for the Senses, a place to rejuvenate mind, body and soul.

This is the ethos from which Banyan Tree’s meetings and event programmes are developed.

Along with unique event and dining options, an array of team-building pursuits is on offer. 

Delegates and attendees can discover a wide variety of activities, from world-renowned spa treatments at Banyan Tree Spa and early morning yoga sessions; to extreme activities such as ATV rides and watersports; from Bedouin-inspired BBQs in the desert and cooking classes with executive chefs; to giving back to the environment and communities via the numerous sustainability projects supported and managed by Banyan Tree.

Whatever the event, from a corporate retreat, business meeting, teambuilding get-away or sales incentive, the experienced Banyan Tree events team in each of the 22 resorts worldwide can bring any vision to life to create a seamless, unique event which encompasses stunning locations, natural beauty, and unique experiences.
