The honest answer is: it depends heavily on how far the team travels. Below is a real, line-item comparison across the three distance tiers HR and admin teams typically choose between - a drivable near-city getaway, a domestic flight destination, and an international offsite - all computed the same way our free calculator does, for a 40-person team over a 2-night trip.
What actually drives the cost
Travel is usually the biggest swing factor, not the hotel. A near-city offsite can run on buses or self-drive cars at a fraction of a flight-based trip, which is why it stays the cheapest option even at a similar hotel star rating. Group size also matters more than most people expect - hotels genuinely negotiate lower per-room rates for block bookings over 30 people, so larger teams cost less per person, not more.
Domestic vs international
International offsites are not always dramatically more expensive than domestic ones once you account for visa-free destinations like Thailand or Nepal - the flight fare is usually the bigger gap, not the on-ground cost. Destinations that charge a per-person e-visa fee (UAE, Vietnam, most of Central Asia) add a predictable, budgetable line item rather than a hidden one.
