Artisan Venture Tours
Artisan Venture Tours designs retreats that are focused on connecting participants with experiences that allow them to build new skills alongside their coworkers. Our office is based out of Livingston, Montana - a small town placed in a breathtaking mountain valley adjacent to the Yellowstone River. Community values such as hard work, outdoor recreation and adventure have shaped our unique approach to business and travel.
INSPIRATION
Livingston, Montana is a small town with western charm, cozied up with the Yellowstone River in a mountain valley with breathtaking views in every direction. This is our home. In the late 60s, Livingston became a crossroads of recreation. Where people from all walks of life - writers, artists, ranchers, and outdoorsmen united over good drinks, better food, and beautiful views. Community values such as hard work, outdoor recreation and adventure have shaped our unique approaches to business and travel.
GOALS
AVT strives to help businesses attract talent, reduce turnover, express appreciation for employees’ work, and encourage healthy work-life balance. We believe in allowing growth and dialogue to develop naturally by engaging employees with exciting outdoor and cultural activities in unforgettable spaces. Advances in technology have led to a rise in remote work, eliminating the chances of human interaction in the office, bonding with colleagues, and experiencing workplace culture. Corporate retreats and off-site events are invaluable experiences that link the connection between company success and employee happiness.
IMPACT
Our small team designs retreats customized to focus on the connection between participants and unique experiences where they can learn new skills alongside their coworkers. We encourage companies to take a step back from the daily office routine of back-to-back meetings, hours of screen time, and one too many cups of mediocre coffee. Whether you take skiing lessons in Canada, enjoy delicious seafood on Caribbean sands, or explore the Mayan ruins of Mexico, there are endless possibilities of adventures and endeavors that create a long-lasting impact while educating employees. Research has shown that companies who choose to engage their employees in different learning processes see significant changes in creativity, problem solving, increased overall productivity, and job retention.
