A well-planned retreat brings people together. Three Pomi company trips offer a closer look at the choices, experiences and inclusions behind the budget.
A good company retreat makes time for the conversations that are harder to have in the office. It might bring colleagues together over a workshop, a shared meal or a day exploring somewhere new. The budget is what makes room for those experiences, from the hotel and transport to the thoughtful details along the way.
Three programmes featured on our Vietnam corporate retreats page offer a closer look at how different briefs come together. The figures were checked on 15 November 2026 and describe historical bookings or quotations. They provide context for planning, with current prices and availability confirmed in a proposal for your own dates.
Three Retreats, Three Different Briefs
| Example | Group and period | Recorded SGD per person | Hotel | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ho Chi Minh City 4D3N | 20 people; November 2026 | 479 | Client arranged | Client arranged |
| Da Nang, Hoi An and Ba Na Hills 5D4N | 28 people; booked September 2026 | 449 promotional group rate | Included | Excluded |
| Da Nang 4D3N team building | 15 people; January 2025 | 849 quoted | Included | Return flights included; checked bags extra |
Each example tells a different story. Group size, travel dates and the balance of hotel, flight and programme arrangements explain much of the difference between the figures.
Ho Chi Minh City: Shared Experiences, with Room for Different Interests
For this 20-person, four-day programme, the brief brought together a community activity, a coffee workshop, go-karting and archery. One day allowed colleagues to follow different interests, with golf for part of the group and Cu Chi for others. The client arranged its own accommodation and flights, leaving Pomi to bring the ground programme together.
At SGD 479 per person, the programme included private transport, an English-speaking guide, airport fast track, specified meals, A O Show tickets and the listed activities. Golf was available at an additional SGD 245 per golfer.
For the organiser, that meant a base programme budget of SGD 9,580 for 20 people. The quoted golf option for eight colleagues added SGD 1,960, bringing those arrangements to SGD 11,540. Hotel and flight budgets sat separately, giving the company a clear view of the different parts of the trip.
This approach can work well for a company with existing flight or hotel arrangements. It also shows the value of a programme that balances shared experiences with individual interests. For a community visit, planning begins with the host organisation and what is appropriate and helpful for the people welcoming the group.
Da Nang: Five Days of Coast, Culture and Team Time
A September 2026 booking for 28 people brought the hotel and land programme together at a promotional group rate of SGD 449 per person, with flights arranged separately. Accommodation, private transport, an English-speaking guide, meals and entrance fees were included, alongside beach team building with an MC and professional photography.
Across five days, the programme combined Da Nang city stops and Son Tra with basket boats near Hoi An, the Ancient Town and Ba Na Hills. The mix gave the retreat several changes of scene, with sightseeing and team activities forming a shared experience for the group.
The recorded package total for 28 places was SGD 12,572, before flights and separately agreed additions. As a promotional booking for that particular group and date, it is best used as an example of the package structure. A new proposal would reflect your own requirements.
Da Nang: A Four-Day Retreat with Flights Included
For a 15-person retreat in January 2025, the quotation brought return flights from Singapore into the arrangements at SGD 849 per person, with checked baggage extra. The published inclusions also featured a beach hotel, Ba Na Hills, Hoi An, a massage and team building with an MC.
That quotation came to SGD 12,735 for 15 people before baggage and other exclusions or additions. With flights already included, the organiser had a different starting point from the two earlier examples. The historical fare and travel dates remain part of that context.
The Choices That Shape Your Budget
| Cost driver | Decision needed for a useful quotation |
|---|---|
| Dates and flights | Fixed or flexible dates, group departure or several arrival times? |
| Headcount | Confirmed number, expected range and final-count deadline? |
| Hotel and rooms | Hotel standard, room sharing and single rooms? |
| Programme | Sightseeing, meetings, facilitated activities or separate tracks? |
| Meals | Which meals, dietary requirements, drinks and private dining? |
| Specialist activities | Golf, workshops, photography or other additions? |
| Meetings | Room hours, seating, AV, refreshments and facilitation? |
| Transport | Vehicle capacity, luggage and additional pickups? |
| Changes | What happens to the rate if dates or numbers change? |
A retreat budget develops around the group itself. More travellers can share some costs, while also calling for larger vehicles, additional rooms or a different activity format. Meetings and facilitated sessions add their own requirements, which is why a corporate proposal is shaped specifically around the brief.
Bringing the Budget Together
A simple breakdown helps everyone involved see how the proposal fits together:
- Land programme: services, activities and transfers explicitly listed.
- Accommodation: add separately only if excluded from the package.
- Flights: add separately only if excluded, checking baggage and fare terms.
- Meeting costs: room, AV, refreshments and facilitation not already included.
- Optional tracks: golf or other activities chosen by part of the group.
- Unincluded spending: meals, drinks, insurance and personal costs where separate.
- Company contingency: your own allowance for approved changes or unplanned spending.
A clear proposal also sets out rooming assumptions, validity, payment and cancellation terms, and any taxes or surcharges. With the inclusions gathered in one place, it is easier to compare options and present the full budget to colleagues.
Making Time for What Matters
The most enjoyable programme has a sense of purpose and enough space to achieve it. A planning session deserves time and attention; a celebration feels different when colleagues can relax into the evening. Finding that balance is part of the planning, alongside the destination and hotel.
Our corporate retreat service brings the trip and logistics together. Our Vietnam team-building programmes explore the activities, participation and facilitation in more detail, including comfortable alternatives for colleagues with different abilities or preferences.
For the destination itself, our Ho Chi Minh City itinerary guide explains how arrival and departure fit different trip lengths. Our private versus shared-group comparison explains the touring formats.
Start with a Conversation
You may already have a destination in mind, or simply know that it is time to bring the team together. Either is a good place to begin. A few details about dates, group size, room preferences and the experiences you hope to share will help us suggest a direction.
Let us know whether the budget includes flights and hotels, and whether you would like meeting space or optional activities. We would be happy to prepare a thoughtful programme and a clear proposal for your team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Vietnam company retreat cost?
The budget depends on your dates, group size, rooms and programme. The historical Pomi examples here were SGD 449, SGD 479 and SGD 849 per person, each with different inclusions. They offer context for planning; a current quotation will reflect your own retreat.
Does land only include the hotel?
Hotel arrangements vary. The 20-person Ho Chi Minh City programme was planned around accommodation booked by the client, while the 28-person Da Nang booking included the hotel. Both excluded flights, and each example sets out its own inclusions.
Are these example prices available now?
These examples come from particular past bookings or quotations, including one promotional group rate. We would be happy to prepare a current proposal around your dates, group size and preferred experiences.
Are golf and checked baggage always included?
These details depend on the programme. Golf was an additional SGD 245 per golfer in the Ho Chi Minh City example, and checked bags were extra in the January 2025 Da Nang quotation. Your proposal can show these options separately.
