New teambuilding series launches at Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort and Spa

Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort and Spa has rolled out a customised teambuilding package combining physical activities and mental challenges, parked under the banner Collabor8. In total, there are eight teambuilding options that can be conducted indoors or outdoors.

The launch was in response to “a lot of enquiries we get (for) two-in-one events – corporate incentives that have been merged with teambuilding activities and strategic planning,” explained business development manager Janine Medina-Cue.

“By investing in the group’s travel, companies extend their itineraries so that they can kill two birds with one stone,” Medina-Cue told TTGmice, noting that with the October 26 reopening of Boracay and positive results from its clean-up and rehabilitation, “there has definitely been an increase in curiosity and enquiries from MICE groups”.

She explained that Collabor8 is a three-step winning formula beginning with what the team would like to achieve, followed by eight adventures to choose from, topped off by a team celebration for a winning finish.

The eight adventure options include a QR code experiential tour and mini challenges from taking a selfie photo and uploading online for the Biggest Influencer challenge, to a mystery escape room for the Codebreaker challenge.

Collabor8 was mainly inspired by the various activities that can be done within the large Shangri-La’s Boracay resort. “We injected a storyline to tie everything together and to give team builders the personas they need to step into particular roles and achieve the team’s desired goal,” Medina-Cue shared.
