The founder of a large IT company was stepping down from the business and, as a thank you, wanted to surprise a number of employees with an unforgettable trip to Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>Given that the trip was due to take place within 2.5 months, we pulled out all the stops to make it happen on such short notice. We managed to put together a fantastic two-day programme that fully met the client's wishes. When we wanted to put the final touches to everything about two weeks in advance, we received a call from the client asking if we could bring the trip forward by a day due to personal circumstances of one of the travellers. Naturally, we immediately started coordinating with our suppliers and after a day of intensive contact with all parties, we managed to change the dates of the entire trip, including the hotel! That is the kind of thing we often do for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/en\/incentives\/last-minute-uitdagingen-voor-gomice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last-minute challenges<\/a><\/strong> for which we will find a solution.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks later, the group departed for Barcelona. I met them at the gate at Schiphol to then accompany them throughout the entire trip and ensure that everything went perfectly. With the exception of our client and his wife, the entire programme was still a surprise to the group.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Exceptionally luxurious dining and overnight stay\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From Barcelona airport, I led the group to the 5-star hotel: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriott.com\/en-us\/hotels\/bcnwh-w-barcelona\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">W-Barcelona<\/a>. A fantastic hotel in a gorgeous location. The sun was shining, so it was a lovely start to the day. After a welcome drink, we set off.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9168 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wijn.jpg\" alt=\"Een incentive reis naar Barcelona, georganiseerd voor een IT-bedrijf\" width=\"1200\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wijn.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wijn-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wijn-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wijn-768x497.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We visited a viewpoint with a magnificent view over Barcelona and its surroundings.

We had managed to arrange with the hotel for a section of the club to be reserved for our group, which is exceptional as this normally involves high costs. Thanks to our negotiations, the reservation fee for us was zero!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9171 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/rooftop-bar.jpg\" alt=\"Een incentive reis naar Barcelona, georganiseerd voor een IT-bedrijf\" width=\"1200\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/rooftop-bar.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/rooftop-bar-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/rooftop-bar-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/rooftop-bar-768x497.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To top it all off, three limousines pulled up shortly afterwards, in which the group was taken in style to a 3-star restaurant!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9172 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/limou.jpg\" alt=\"Een incentive reis naar Barcelona, georganiseerd voor een IT-bedrijf\" width=\"1200\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/limou.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/limou-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/limou-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/limou-768x497.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The biggest surprise \u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The following day, another surprise awaited the group: a helicopter flight over Barcelona!
