The Meeting and Incentive Forums organized by the British Big Worldwide ―through its subsidiary Worldwide Events― hold a prominent spot in MICE experts’ agendas since they started being held in 2006.
One of the keys of their success lays on the private forum format chosen by their organizers. The model is specifically aimed at the independent hospitality industry, and its limited size allows the creation of an intimate atmosphere that favours one-on-one contact and the birth of alliances.
Incentivos Ibiza DMC, partner of the event
From May the 2nd to the 6th, Ibiza ―our island!― hosted the Private MICE spring 2017 at the Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa premises.
This being Ibiza, promoters trusted us with organizing all activities of the event and the participants’ transfers. Becoming a partner of this kind of event was both a big challenge and a great responsibility. We had to work for an international audience under the premise of guaranteeing an excellent organization that allowed them to focus in their business goals.
Networking beyond conference rooms
The main goal of such an event is to offer its participants several opportunities to get in touch with suppliers and colleagues and get to know the resources in the destination.
At Incentivos Ibiza DMC, we had to accomplish this goal, and we also had to do so in an original style through the organization of different activities. Fully aware of our task, we mobilized our best resources to make sure that our guests enjoyed the charm and exuberance of our island and brought back home fond memories of their stay in Ibiza.
With this goal in mind, we organized a tour around the most special spots in the island. We boarded 18 Meharis and visited some of its most renowned towns: Sant Llorenç, Santa Agnès, Santa Gertrudis and Es Vedrà brought us closer to the biodiversity and the local taste we like to treat our customers with.
Surrounded by the Mediterranean, we could not miss the opportunities our coast offered. Team building activities on the beach, volleyball games and trips on kayak bordering the best beaches and coves complemented our offer.
The Tanit Beach Club became our headquarters for the cocktail and mojito workshops we organized profiting from this unique, warm and inviting club located at Platja d’en Bossa.
An opportunity to promote ourselves
You do not get the opportunity to make yourself known to 160 potential customers from all around the European environment every day. Besides, this time we were not the ones visiting a trade fair or a congress, but the ones in charge of hosting customers “at home”. During the Private MICE spring 2017 we held a total of 50 meetings where we could present our services and our wide knowledge on both the territory and the resources of the Balearic Islands.
Once the forum is over, and after a few days of frantic activity, we look back at it in a honestly positive light. Once again, we have managed to meet the expectations, we have succeeded in communicating the exuberant charm of Ibiza through its “local taste” and we keep accumulating experience as the reference DMC in the Balearic Islands.
