Company event: Dragon Boat Race

Do you want something different from the usual company party with catering? How about excitement and physical activity? The Dragon Boat Race combines sport, lifestyle and culture. A good team is worth its weight in gold. Team building is of enormous importance for the success of a company. A dragon boat event enables an emotional connection between employees and opens up new perspectives. A dragon boat is a particularly long, open paddle boat that originally comes from China. It is often marked with a dragon head and a decorative tail is also part of the oversized paddle boat. The aim of this design is to depict a Chinese dragon. Often, however, the decorative elements are omitted, but the name dragon boat remains. The inventor of the Dragon Boat Race is the Hong Kong Tourist Association. In the 1970s, the Hong Kong Tourist Association decided to organize a dragon boat festival to promote Hong Kong. The first international Dragon Boat Race took place in 1976. Since that year, the idea of ​​dragon boat racing has been flourishing. Started as an advertising measure, the Dragon Boat Race is very popular today. It's fun for young and old. The crew of a dragon boat consists of paddlers who sit next to each other in pairs on benches and move the boat forward with paddles. Crucial for the success of a dragon boat team is not only the muscular strength of the paddlers, but rhythm and harmony in the cooperation. Depending on the type of boat, between 10 and 50 paddlers sit in pairs on a bench in the direction of travel. This event is perfect for any company. There is no shortage of fun and the best thing is, the team spirit is strengthened enormously
