Giving Back

Doc Hendley with the Retreats Resources team

We Live Well By Doing Good!

Our long standing commitment to Wine To Water hit it’s pinnacle in 2022, as we dedicated each of our events to raising money to assist in their disaster relief efforts in Ukraine, Pakistan, and here at home in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. Our generous community of big-hearted destination partners and compassionate event planners helped us convert donated travel packages to over $102,000 to help alleviate suffering all over the world.

A lot of great vacations are to be had in 2023!

Meet CNN “Hero”, Doc Hendley and learn more about this inspiring philanthropy on our Giving Back page!

This December, Owen topped over $100,000 this year for Wine To Water! Founder and President of Retreat Resources, Carol leverages the ever-changing landscape of corporate responsibility by going above and beyond to use business to do good.”

Build Enduring Relationships

Hospitality is an industry based on relationships, darlings, and we like to think that we are in the “people” business!

Our industry events have remained a trusted favorite of both event specialists and luxury destination partners for almost 20 years!

Why? Because we create an informal, relaxed atmosphere that allows you to meet and share information and build enduring relationships in a “no pressure” environment of authenticity and fun!

Your Success is Our Mission!

We get it! Time is precious.

When you choose to participate in an industry event, you want it to be productive, providing a return on the investment of your time and resources.

Our curated collection of distinctive hotels, resorts, cruise lines, DMCs and other industry partners, coming together with qualified buyers and event executives, offers an efficient, face-to-face solution to the “connection” challenges that both buyers and sellers experience in our increasingly digital age.
