Conference Recommendations
Intro
This report will explore three potential cities around the world that would be excellent
candidates for our companies’ team-building morale conference. Among the chosen
cities are Paris, Dubai and Ottawa. Each city possesses incredible sightseeing
recommendation for the city that best suits the conference will be made at the end of
Paris, France
“Paris is regularly voted the world’s most coveted and charismatic destination by
everyone on the team. The trip would entail a conference hall built right into an elegant
4 -star hotel alongside the Eiffel Tower, and the chance to visit the many famous
Accommodations
Conveniently, Novotel Paris Center Tour Eiffel, the hotel our team would be staying at,
is also home to an amphitheatre that can hold up to 600 people. “Set in the heart of
Paris, on the left bank of the Seine, just steps away from the Eiffel Tower, the Novotel
Paris Center Tour Eiffel provides a privileged venue for ours guests and meetings with
all the services of a 4-star hotel” [ CITATION Nov20 \l 4105 ]. Within the hotel, guests can

Transit
According to an article written on Trip Savvy, “Paris boasts one of the worlds safest and
most efficient public transportation systems” [ CITATION Cou19 \l 4105 ]. The Paris metro
system contains 16 routes that can all be identified by numbers and colours. The lines

run every day of the week from 5:30 a.m. to either 1:15 a.m. or 2:15 a.m. making it very
convenient to navigate around the city. The downfall to Paris’ metro line is that not all
lines are accessible. Purchasing tickets is simple and comes with many options such as
5-day unlimited passes, which comes with discounts to certain local attractions. Novotel

and the Louvre [ CITATION Via20 \l 4105 ]. One last place that must be visited while in Paris
is the Louvre Museum. Home to famous pieces such as Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa,
Venus de Milo, Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People and the Great Sphinx of
Tanis, the Louvre is a historical piece of architecture the team would love to visit.
Ottawa, Canada

Lorisa, Kimberly and Robyn
Ottawa is the capital of Canada, historically speaking it’s got it all. There are more than
35 major festivals in Ottawa throughout the year and nearly all of Canada’s national
museums (Schwarts, 2016). You won’t be disappointed and certainly not bored hosting
our all-staff moral-building conference in this beautiful quaint bustling city, home to the
“largest naturally frozen skating rink in the world as designated by Guinness World

local artisans and so much more. (Ottawa Tourism – ByWard Market, 2020)

Sightseeing
There is always something going on in the city known for its festivals, sometimes called
the “Festival City”. (Schwartz, 2016) From the Beer Festival, to the Jazz Festival, the
Tulip Festival, and the Bluesfest to name a few. Ottawa has haunted evening walks and

War Museum and the Royal Canadian Mint. (McAdam, 2019) From the Rideau Canal,
to the ByWard Market, Parliament Hill, Spark Street pedestrian only road and all the
sights of the Capital, the staff will have plentiful of options to choose while attending the

the city of Dubai, located in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is an innovative city that is
well known for it’s high standards of building designs, road maintenance, and quality of
life (Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Visit Dubai, n.d.). It is home to one of the largest
airports in the world, as well as the tallest building in the world and is a great location for
accommodations to fit the needs and budgets of travellers, either it be for a get
away vacation or business related. Among the top-rated hotels for business is the FIVE
Palm Jumeirah Dubai. This hotel is located at the base of the Palm Jumeirah which is a
man-made island designed in the shape of a palm tree (FIVE Palm Jumeirah Hotel,
n.d.). This hotel has a simple, but very elegant style and has received excellent reviews
for it’s standard of cleanliness. Some key features of this hotel include its own private
beach, three outdoor swimming pools, free Wi-Fi, and it is close to many popular
attractions. There is also a modern spa available to guests where they can relax and
service starts at the price of $209 per night. An important reason why this hotel would
be a great choice is because it has a conference room that can accommodate 350
people. This would be needed for the purpose of the morale-building conference.
Transit
Transportation needs in Dubai are very easy to find since there are many options
available. There are taxis available at any time and can drive to any destination in the
city. This is considered to be the easiest way to travel around Dubai (Dubai City Pass,
n.d.). Buses are another easy way to get around and they are available every 10
minutes. There are regular city buses or open-top buses that will stop at popular
10
Lorisa, Kimberly and Robyn
attractions. A ticket to ride the bus can be purchased in the form of a multipurpose NOL
fare card and this card can also be used for the metro. The Dubai Metro rail travels all
around the city and is one of the fastest, most convenient modes of transportation
Sightseeing
and stunning, must see views. The three most popular things
to do/see while in Dubai include the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, and the Dubai
Fountain. The Burj Khalifa is iconic to Dubai because it is the world’s tallest building,
“standing at 828 metres high “(Top 18 Things To Do in Dubai, n.d.). Simple enjoy the
sight of the massive building or experience an amazing view from one of the two
observation decks inside. Located beside the Burj Khalifa is the Dubai Mall which is
paradise for those who like to go shopping. Inside, shoppers can experience over 1,200
(Burj Khalifa, n.d.)
stores and get something to eat at one of the 150 restaurants available. What makes
this mall so incredible is it has its own indoor theme park for thrill seekers, a huge indoor
skating rink, and an aquarium underwater zoo. After spending a day at the mall, upon
leaving is the opportunity to experience the Dubai Fountain just outside of the building.
This is the world’s largest choreographed fountain and “each colourful, illuminated jet
sways in time to various musical numbers from around the world, producing what has
become the one of the most popular shows in Dubai” (Top 18 Things To Do in Dubai,
11
Lorisa, Kimberly and Robyn
n.d.). It is best to experience the fountain in the evening when there are shows every 30
minutes and when the lights are more breath taking to watch. Among the various sight
seeing opportunities for travellers, the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, and the Dubai
Conclusion
After exploring every option and using thoughtful consideration for the three exceptional
Canada is the one city that offered the most peace of mind. The team would not need a
passport to visit the world class attractions and restaurants Ottawa has to offer.
(Schwartz, 2016) The staff won’t loose too many days of travelling and experience the
dreadful time difference with traveling to Paris, France and Dubai, United Emirates. The
hotel amenities, conference facilities, city transit and sightseeing options are offered in
both official languages and they meet our accessibility policy. Ottawa is also the most
cost-effective city to host our conference. While Paris would accommodate all of the
requirements, Dubai would be the best second choice as their hotels offer a more
vacation like feeling with their spa and beach. This would be especially great for those
who do not wish to stray from the hotel during this trip. Therefore, attending Ottawa for
the morale-building conference is the best choice, followed by Dubai and then Paris.
