When people ask me which holiday destinations are my personal preference, I usually rattle off so many destinations that you can no longer call them favourite destinations. Even so, below are my favourite destinations in random order and in random types of destinations, and so these have nothing to do with my MICE preferences.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Africa<\/strong> Tanzania<\/a><\/strong>, South Africa<\/a><\/strong>, Botswana<\/li>\n
- Asia:<\/strong> Hong Kong, Singapore<\/a><\/strong>,Thailand, Malaysia, Japan<\/a><\/li>\n
- America<\/strong> New York<\/a><\/strong>, Hawaii<\/a>\u00a0i.c.w. Japan<\/a><\/strong>, Alaska, Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico<\/li>\n
- Middle East:<\/strong> Dubai<\/a><\/li>\n
- Europe<\/strong>: Ibiza<\/a><\/strong> (op no. 1), Seville<\/a><\/strong>, Val Gardena<\/a><\/strong> Skiing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
(Some destinations are clickable; we have previously written about those destinations and the group tours there. As for the remaining destinations, we will soon put pen to paper about those as well!)<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n
Ibiza: \u2019the place to be\u2019 in Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n
At goMICE, we look primarily at which destination best suits the specific request and intended event or incentive. Besides being my own favourite holiday destination in Europe, Ibiza is also a very popular destination for organising an incentive trip or an event. This year, too, dozens of requests from various clients for Ibiza are underway, and because I have been co-chaperone for a specific client for years, I joined them again this year on their two trips and made sure that over the past two weeks, I was on my favourite island twice for four days.<\/p>\n
Two incentive trips to Ibiza<\/strong><\/h3>\n
And what wonderful trips they were again. The first group of 55 people stayed in the Hard Rock Hotel and the second group in the Ushuaia hotel. Both are part of the Palladium group, yet very different from each other.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nAt the Ushuaia hotel they also serve an \u2018unexpected breakfast\u2019. Great if things got a bit late the night before and you fancy a hearty or sweet bite.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n
During the pre-inspections, our project managers had done an exceptional job, which ensures that the trips themselves usually run without a hitch. Nothing is left to chance. Naturally, during the trip we are also busy with all sorts of things, but the participants hardly ever notice any of that. Therefore, they often ask whether we are enjoying ourselves just as much. With a smile, we usually say: \u201cWe mostly enjoy seeing you enjoying yourselves!\u201d. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Participants often fail to notice that we run through the entire programme, despite the pre-inspection, and double-check everything and think of all the details. But that is how it should be. The participants must feel that everything goes \u201ceffortlessly\u201d.<\/p>\n
If the participants feel that everything is \u201cgoing automatically\", we have done our job well!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Incentive activities during this incentive trip to Ibiza<\/strong><\/h3>\n
We had put together fantastic programmes for these groups once again. For example, the participants were able to enjoy the best, yet also very authentic restaurants. The latter is always a challenge because we don't want our groups to eat in the \u201cstandard\u201d corporate locations. And we always manage to select hidden gems of restaurants. This is only possible because we always go exploring at the destinations ourselves. Time and time again, and that is why we are able to surprise our clients time and time again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nA special \u2018Bohemian lunch\u2019 amongst the hills<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Alongside all these lovely restaurants, we had also organised a \u2018Bohemian lunch\u2019 amongst the hills. With Bohemian parasols, crates for the sandwiches and tubs of ice for the chilled drinks, the participants relaxed and were able to enjoy all the treats. We had created a sort of oasis halfway through a strenuous and warm tour of the island in 2CVs and M\u00e9haris. We received fantastic feedback on this alternative to dining in a restaurant.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nA catamaran trip could not be missed<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Also during the catamaran trip, we managed to surprise the participants with a barbecue lunch on board. Anchored off the coast in the azure waters of Formentera, one of the crew members opened up the barbecue, which hung out over the sea, and prepared fresh fish, chicken and meat. Together with fresh salads, vegetables and fruit, a delicious lunch was put together.<\/p>\n
Following these two incentive trips to Ibiza, once back in the Netherlands, feedback started coming in from many participants. One after the other rated goMICE with a 10, many accompanied by wonderful quotes. I keep repeating it, that is what we do it for, namely giving participants fantastic experiences!<\/p>\n
