Client: KUKU FM
Event: Corporate Offsite
Participants: 200+ Employees from all over India
Duration: 2 Nights / 3 Days
Destination: Goa

Trip and Trails was entrusted with planning, organising, and executing a memorable corporate offsite for KUKU FM in Goa. This case study details the meticulous planning and flawless execution that ensured a successful and enjoyable experience for all 200+ participants.

Pre-Event Planning
The primary challenge was uniting a large group of employees from various locations in a remote yet luxurious setting. Trip and Trails needed to ensure seamless logistics, comfortable accommodations, and engaging activities that fostered team bonding and a sense of adventure.

Understanding Client Needs: Trip and Trails initiated the process by holding detailed discussions with KUKU FM representatives. They went beyond simply understanding the client’s objectives for the offsite, team composition, budget, and preferred activities. To ensure they offered the most suitable destination, Trip and Trails presented four options: Ranthambore, Kashmir, Goa, and Agra, with Parwanoo also being considered. Considering the need to minimise travel time and maximise enjoyment within a 2N/3D timeframe, KUKU FM chose Goa based on employee preference for a beach destination, budget, and the desire for a hassle-free offsite experience.
Destination Selection: Selecting the perfect location in Goa was crucial. KUKU FM HR team wanted a property away from the crowded mainstream areas, prioritising a secluded and private environment with a beach for relaxation and private events. Trip and Trails addressed this challenge by meticulously researching and contacting at least 10-12 properties across Goa. Their expertise ensured they narrowed down the options to the ideal property that perfectly fit the KUKU FM’s requirements, comfortably accommodating over 200 people and offering the desired private beach access.
Flight Booking: Trip and Trails secured the most economical and convenient flight options for all participants, considering their locations across more than 10 Pan-India destinations.
