Preview: Thought-leadership Travel
Global – A new wave of holidays aimed at entrepreneurs, creatives and Silicon Valley types blend cultural experiences with dialogue and debate.

- Curiosity Retreats features four days of lectures on science, technology, civilisation and the human spirit combined with yoga and horse-riding

Offers such as the Curiosity Retreats in Colorado or SideStory in London introduce guests to thought-leaders and innovators, bringing together educated conversation with relaxation.
