Incentive trip to New York
Like I wrote earlier New York is once again completely hot as an incentive or inspirational destination. With New York, it is always up and down. This is because it is a more expensive destination than a European one and, of course, a lot further away, which means participants are away for longer, and therefore also away from work. But when a company really wants to pamper its employees or clients, destinations like New York, Dubai, Asia or, for example, South Africa are often chosen.
An incentive trip to New York
I have just returned from this fantastic city with a group from the recruitment and selection industry. The project managers in our office are all-round, but one knows just a bit more about a particular destination than another. For instance, as a project manager, I now have a lot of experience with the destination New York, which happens to be one of my favourite long-haul destinations! Despite the fact that there are always a number of fixed elements in the trip, this trip was very different from previous ones. This is mainly due to the fact that the profile of the participants is always different and they enjoy and/or value different things.
Suitable incentive activities in New York
Fortunately, on this trip too, we hit the nail on the head and everyone was extremely satisfied afterwards.
Of course, we also cycled in New York led by our regular guide and we surprised the group with the speedboats again. Cruising the Hudson with 3 speedboats simultaneously and passing more than 40 highlights in 1.5 hours is and remains amazing. When participants are then allowed to board a helicopter as well, the city really has been admired from all angles (by land, sea and air 😊).
Furthermore, we attended a Yankees game: always a special experience.
Additionally, for this trip we had once again selected extraordinary restaurants. For instance, we had lunch at restaurant Manhatta, located on the 60e floor of a skyscraper in the Financial District. Guaranteed success, not only because of the spectacular view, but also for the fantastic dishes.
In short, I have once again had the pleasure of putting together and running a fantastic trip. That is what makes working at goMICE so enjoyable. And when you then receive the most wonderful reactions from the contacts after this incentive travel to New York, but also from other participants, and it makes you happy. You quickly forget about the jetlag then!
