New hotspots

Most common trip destinations by the CEOs include Tanzania, Kenya and Iceland. But, while these locations are now becoming too cliched for the travel enthusiasts, the Bosnia and Yugoslavian regions are emerging as the new-found treasure-chest of natural beauty lovers

Being humble

Most of these top executives, when on holiday, want small boutique hotels over overtly pompous five-star chains. Their idea is to stay secluded and enjoy customised service with close people.

The Earth connect

The new-found trend amongst the CEOs is to find small, peaceful corners away from the bustle of the crowd and preferably located in the comparatively remoter areas of cities. Their holidays are usually spent in small isolated cottages in a company of exclusive friends and family.

Leh also in list

After Kenya and Tanzania, the preferred travel locations next in list for the CEOs are Finland and Spain. The only place from India that figures in a travel surevy is Leh/Ladakh. Summer and Autumn are the most sought after seasons the executives opt for vacations in Leh where sun-soaking is listed as one of the most desired leisure activity.
