Port Dickson a popular rendezvous for company retreat

The employees of a local financial institution in Kuala Lumpur were a lucky lot. They get to choose where to hold their annual retreat and Port Dickson was the favourite choice.

Without a doubt, Port Dickson, about 80 km from Kuala Lumpur, with its very surprising number of resorts mushroomed along the coastal road has become known as the perfect place to rendezvous for company retreat that give time-off to employees to relax and reduce their stress with exciting and fun-filled team building activities.

After the motivational and inspirational retreat, employees come back highly recharged, more productive and ready to give back more to the company.
