Online Travel: How Exploring New Places Helps with Team Building
Have you ever dreamed of sending your team to an exotic country without the hassle of passports, time changes or that one colleague who always forgets their charger? Welcome to corporate virtual travel, where teams can socialise without leaving their offices. It's like a team outing, except you can stay in your pyjamas.

The magic of virtual travel
Building connections online
In a remote work environment, making real connections can be as difficult as finding a Wi-Fi signal in the middle of nowhere. Interactive online adventures for remote teams offer a unique solution by immersing participants in a shared experience that requires collaboration, communication and creativity. Such virtual experiences not only dilute the monotony of everyday tasks but also strengthen relationships in the team.
Engaging the digital nomad
According to the 2025 report showed that 67% of participants prefer interactive event formats, with features such as surveys, Q&A sessions and live chats driving engagement. This preference highlights the importance of dynamic and collaborative events in virtual environments.
Real-world success stories
Affirm's Remote Rendezvous
Affirm, a company set up to work remotely, realised the challenge of developing a corporate culture at a distance. They began holding face-to-face meetings, such as quarterly meetings, to strengthen ties and entrench company values. This approach was aimed at preventing an “us vs them” mentality and ensuring employee engagement.
The emergence of virtual villages
Digital nomads have turned to virtual communities to combat loneliness and build connections. Platforms such as Nomads.com and Digital Nomad Girls offer both online interactions and face-to-face events, fostering real-world friendships and professional networking.
Tangible benefits of virtual team travelling
Increased morale and productivity
Employee Value Promotion (EVP)
A strong EVP builds employee loyalty, satisfies retention needs and promotes alignment with the organisation's goals, which ultimately reduces turnover.
