Case Study Summer
Trip request:
Our European client required a 10-day summer sales conference in the mediterranean with accessibility to the major European centres enabling managers from over 19 countries to commute in only a few hours. The trip was split 60/40 in terms of work and team-building leisure time.
Location: Ibiza. Spain,
The guests were lodged in two rural boutique 4 star hotels (within 5 minutes of each other) in the north of the island, approximately 17km from Ibiza town. Located in a quiet part of the island with a swimming pool, beaches, biking and walking trails in and around the area gave them the perfect environment to obtain their goals.
Group size: 35
Trip length: 10 days, September 2002,
Weather: 25 degrees on average.
Trip format:
The first five days of the trip where heavily focused on achieving work-related objectives, whilst ensuring the team spent some social time together. The selection, size and exclusivity of the two rural hotels we delivered provided the perfect environment to achieve this.
Lunches were served in the gardens around the main hotel. In the evenings we offered the group a selection of international cuisine at either of the hotels or some of the island's traditional local and international restaurants. Every evening we organised a different theme and style of food.
Outside of the work time, there was a wide variety of activities available to the group (golf, beaches, biking, walking, scuba-diving) with one of the group highlights being a day trip to the outer islands of Ibiza (Formentera) on a grand old sailing boat. Lunch was served on the boat and there was the option of water-skiing, swimming and snorkelling or just relaxing in the sun enjoying the turquoise water and white sandy beaches.
The clients concluded:
The MD commented at the completion of the trip: "It doesn't get much better than that; the way you combined work with activities, enabling us to stay as a team and achieve our objectives was fantastic. The added value and delivery comes from you and your team's personal involvement, energy and professionalism. Many thanks again!"
