SOCHI
In combination with a conference or an add-on from Moscow (2 hours flight) or St. Petersburg (40 minutes longer) relaxing and being an "Olympic Pioneer" before others... with relaxations, maybe a treatment, beach or skiing - your choice! If looking for the nostalgic and very true Russian (i.e. Soviet) impression of the Black Sea resort in the actual Sochi combining with conference, swimming pool party, an evening cruise and being the last seeing Sochi as a Grand Lady you have to do it now before its to late...!
The future potential for meetings and conferences and certainly for congresses will most probably lay in the new developments east of Adler and in the very few high standard hotels being built as a result of the Olympics and the ongoing development. Many International Hotel chains are presently looking for establishment in the region. With conference facilities in combination with team building activities, jeep tours, rafting skiing or tracking in the Krasnaya Polyana region and swimming in the new beaches being planned, it will be the perfect destination for combining any corporate program with conference and meetings. When the planned international direct flights are opened (including the modernization of the Russian Aircrafts) it will definitely minimize the distance and travel time. Something to have in mind for any occasion, season or activity and probably in a closer reach to your city then both Moscow & St. Petersburg!
