Between conference circuits and well-earned holidays, Zimbabwe's finance leaders have developed strong opinions about where the travel actually delivers on both fronts.
Cape Town
A consistent favourite for its combination of world-class conference infrastructure, a thriving finance and investment community, and genuinely excellent leisure options for the days either side of a work trip.
Victoria Falls
Increasingly a preferred venue for executive retreats and board offsites — close to home, spectacular, and removed enough from the daily office environment to enable genuinely different strategic conversations.
Mauritius
A regular choice for finance leaders combining regional investment conferences with family holiday time, thanks to strong flight connectivity and a well-developed hospitality sector.
"The best trips I take now are the ones where I've deliberately built in two extra days with no agenda at all."
The Common Thread
Across every destination mentioned, the executives we spoke with emphasised the same principle: deliberately protecting unstructured time, rather than filling every trip with back-to-back commitments.
