Company profile
researched Aug 2026RetreatsAndVenues, operated by Thrive Network Inc., is an online platform for sourcing and booking venues for corporate retreats, offsites, all-hands meetings, sales kickoffs (SKOs), and incentive trips. The company advertises access to a database of more than 50,000 corporate retreat venues worldwide, searchable by destination, team size, budget, activities, and amenities, and browsable without an account. Venue types cited range from castles and private island resorts to boutique hotels, mountain lodges, beachfront resorts, and urban lofts.
Alongside self-service search, the company provides free "retreat success advisors" who assist with destination selection, budgeting, venue sourcing, contract negotiation, and vendor coordination. A proprietary Venue Shortlist & Comparison Tool is used to send RFPs in bulk and to compare pricing, availability, airport distance, meeting space, bed counts, and food options side by side. The site also features an AI tool branded "lumi" described as an AI Coplanner. Bookings are supported with pre-negotiated rates and a best-price guarantee, with the company claiming savings of up to 30% on venue bookings.
Business model
The platform is offered to corporate clients at no cost — the company states there are no deposits, subscription fees, or lock-in commitments. Venue search, shortlisting, RFP distribution, and advisor support are all provided free to the booking team, with the company positioning itself between corporate buyers and venue partners and offering pre-negotiated rates and a best-price guarantee. The site also invites properties to "become a venue partner."
The customer-facing service is described as completely free, with no deposits or subscription fees; the site does not disclose how the company is compensated beyond referencing pre-negotiated venue rates and a venue partner program.
