How We Ranked These Activities

We ranked activities based on four factors: participant engagement (repeat bookings, post-event surveys), value-for-money, organisational outcomes (communication, problem-solving skills gained), and flexibility (group size and location adaptability). Not the cheapest. Not the trendiest. The ones that actually work.
