Sanya Conferences and Retreats — Inspirational Getaways for China's Corporate Leaders

Shanghai, P.R. China, April 16, 2005 Training seminars and conventions in the Caribbean, Hawaii and other resort destinations have long been popular in the west. Now corporate executives in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore and other areas of Southeast Asia can escape to Hainan Island, the region's hottest new travel destination, to participate in Vision to Victory's Sanya Conferences and Retreats. The events offer focused training in management, leadership and communication skills, as well as industry-specific conferences. Of course rejuvenation and inspiration from the island’s warm tropical sands and crystal waters are included in the package.

Sanya Conferences and Retreats typically begin with a Thursday night arrival in Sanya and conclude with participants returning to the airport Sunday evening, refreshed and armed with new knowledge and skills to take back to the office Monday. Workshops first introduce key concepts and behavioral skills for understanding, leading and influencing people, and then focus on an area for application of best practices: Marketing and Sales Influence, Negotiation and Persuasion Strategies, Coaching and Developing Others. The learning takes place through intense lecture sessions, individual coaching, role-playing and simulation activities, with many sessions taking place beachside. At night participants are free to enjoy beach walks, local restaurants and entertainment.

Says Vision to Victory Founder and President Mario Cavolo: "Marketing and sales executives, managers and other leaders need skills that make an immediate impact on management performance and develop improved ability to understand, coach and develop people, and to execute change within an organization. Sanya provides an ideal setting to absorb and practice new skills and also to reenergize the body, mind and spirit."

Boasting spectacular beaches and year-round warm weather, China's tropical Hainan Island province has long been a resort destination for China's political elite. Situated on the island's southern coast, Sanya is rapidly transforming into a world-class tourist destination, with international five-star hotel brands, including Sheraton, Marriot, Radisson, Shangri La, Hyatt, Hilton and Intercontinental opening along its pristine beaches. The flow of Asian political and business leaders traveling to the area is expected to surge in coming years as Hainan is the home of the annual Boao Forum Asia and just a short ride along the coast from Sanya.

Upcoming dates for Sanya Conferences and Retreats are: May 7-8 (special two-day Marketing and Sales Skills Conference); May 13-15 (Leading, Coaching and Developing Others); and May 27-29 (Negotiation, Persuasion and Presentation Strategies). Seminars are held frequently and other dates and locations throughout Asia may be arranged to suit Vision to Victory clients.
