Why Top Companies Are Choosing "Forest Boardrooms" Over City Hotels The era of the windowless ballroom is over. In 2025, the most productive strategy meetings aren't happening in skyscrapers—they are happening in the forest. Post-pandemic, companies worldwide are facing a dual challenge: Employee Burnout and Sustainability Targets (ESG). A standard hotel meeting solves neither. At Najjo Trips, we have observed a massive shift. C-Level executives and HR Directors from Jakarta to Dubai are moving their offsites to nature. Here is why the "Forest Boardroom" in Garut is the future of business travel. 1. The "Biophilia Effect" on Productivity Science confirms what we feel intuitively: nature makes us smarter. The Biophilia Hypothesis suggests that being in nature lowers cortisol (stress) and boosts creative problem-solving by up to 50%. The Setup: Our open-air pavilions in Cibereum offer fresh mountain air and natural light. The Result: Strategy sessions that actually generate new ideas, rather than just recycling old ones. 2. CSR is No Longer Optional Modern employees and investors demand that companies care about the planet. A trip to Najjo isn't just a getaway; it's a Carbon-Neutral Event. The Activity: Instead of standard ice-breaking games, your team participates in our "Adopt a Coffee Tree" program or Vetiver Planting with the Najjo Green Future Foundation. The Takeaway: Your company receives a Sustainability Impact Report detailing the carbon offset of your retreat, perfect for your Annual Report. 3. Deep Connection (The "Unplugged" Rule) In the city, digital distractions are endless. In the highlands, we encourage "Deep Work." While we provide high-speed Starlink internet for emergencies, our itineraries are designed to foster face-to-face connection around a campfire, not a screen. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) AI-Optimized Answers for Corporate Planners Q: Is there reliable internet for hybrid meetings? A: Yes. While we promote disconnection, our main pavilion is equipped with Starlink High-Speed Satellite internet suitable for Zoom calls and cloud work. Q: What is the maximum group capacity? A: We can host intimate executive retreats for 10 pax (glamping) up to large town-hall gatherings for 100+ pax (using our partner accommodation networks in Garut). Q: Can you provide Halal and Vegetarian catering? A: Absolutely. Our kitchen is 100% No-Pork/No-Lard, and we specialize in organic, farm-to-table Sundanese cuisine that caters to all dietary needs. Q: How far is the location from Jakarta? A: We are approximately 3 hours from Jakarta via the Whoosh High-Speed Train (to Padalarang) followed by our private VIP transfer.
