Events & Incentives in Portugal and Spain

To add to this diversity, we also have the unique archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, true paradises waiting to be discovered just 2 hours from Lisbon, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the country with the oldest borders in Europe, with an exceptional variety of different landscapes, many leisure activities and a unique cultural heritage, where tradition and modernity blend in perfect harmony. Its excellent gastronomy, fine wines and hospitable people make Portugal a high-quality tourist paradise.

Why Portugal?

It is worth highlighting the good air connections with most European capitals, and all the direct routes from Spain, with privileged access to the Latin American markets. The most common flights are to Lisbon via Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, as well as the Algarve. There are also numerous daily direct flights from the USA, particularly from the east coast, and from Brazil. And the excellent connections with Asia and Oceania.

Main Regions

Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve hold a very strong position in the MICE sector. The country’s largest infrastructures, including venues, hotels and restaurants, good transport connections, a comprehensive range of activities and tourist entertainment, and a vast cultural and leisure offering make these three locations the key points of the sector in Portugal.

With the growing popularity of Lisbon and Porto, these cities are becoming hubs of technological and creative innovation, with many modern, vibrant, and unique venues to discover. Congresses and conventions, gala dinners, parties or concerts—Lisbon and Porto can maximize their options, ensuring originality, personality, and charm for your event.

The Algarve, meanwhile, positions itself as our premier “resort destination,” the best beach destination in Europe where you can do much more than spread your towel in the sun. The sea, the uniqueness of the landscape, nature in its purest state, culture and tradition, and welcoming people combine to provide you with unique and diverse experiences.

Madeira offers the ideal combination of leisure and work for a corporate event. The mild weather year-round, the beautiful landscape, the sea breeze, and the various activities available are just some of the reasons why Madeira is a destination to consider for an incentive trip.

The Azores, with their identity linked to nature and adventure and their somewhat more limited tourist infrastructure, position themselves as an ideal destination for small to medium-sized group incentive programs with a more thematic character.

A city where you feel safe walking day or night, where gastronomy is dedicated to creating more than a thousand ways to cook the much-appreciated codfish, and where you find hotels and restaurants for all tastes, budgets, and requirements.

Discover Lisbon, a city full of authenticity, where old customs and ancient history blend with cultural vibrancy and technological innovation. Lisbon has no age, but loves company, as you will discover if you meet someone and ask for a suggestion!

Why Lisbon?

• The “fascinating streets” of historic neighborhoods, viewpoints and rooftops, with a fantastic gastronomic offering.
• Authenticity and modernity: a fantastic blend of historic palaces with new trendy spaces. It is old, but it is modern. And it is, without doubt, a city full of personality.

The city has a privileged geographical location, with a vast communications network and excellent connections to other parts of Portugal and Spain. Both the Douro Valley, birthplace of the world-famous Port wine, and Galicia in Spain are just over an hour’s drive away.

In less than an hour, you can also find other spectacular landscapes, ranging from forests, mountains, and lush nature reserves to picturesque villages and idyllic beaches.

• Various 4 and 5-star hotel options, both in offerings for large-scale meetings and in the luxury segment.

The spring-like temperature, felt throughout the year, invites outdoor activities. You can walk along the network of levadas (irrigation channels), visit the city of Funchal and discover the heritage associated with the Discoveries, or wander freely around the island. Boat trips are an excellent way to admire the coast from a different perspective.

It is no coincidence that Madeira won the World Travel Award as Europe’s Best Island Destination for the 6th consecutive time! In this green paradise in the Atlantic Ocean, your team can enjoy well-deserved relaxation, participate in exciting activities, and appreciate incredible landscapes.

Mother Nature created a land full of natural beauty, ready to be explored, in the blue immensity of the Atlantic Ocean: the Azores. To the east, on the island of Santa Maria, the white and warm sandy beaches are inviting and the vineyards covering the amphitheater-like slopes resemble giant staircases. São Miguel, the largest island, is seductive with its lagoons of Sete Cidades and Fogo.

In the central group, the islands of Terceira, São Jorge, Pico, Faial, and Graciosa fit harmoniously into the deep blue of the sea, where whales and dolphins are spotted, to the delight of visitors.

In the western group, on the island of Flores, the beauty of the waterfalls and natural lagoons sculpted by volcanoes is stunning. The small island of Corvo has at its center a wide and beautiful crater, which attracts many bird species from both Europe and America.

Why the Azores?

• Breathtaking natural beauty: volcanic activity, lagoons, dense vegetation, oceanic immensity!
• Adventure experiences such as bicycle tours, canoeing, trekking, swimming with dolphins, or whale watching.
• Azorean gastronomy, with cozido das furnas as its hallmark (and the associated experience), and especially the thermal baths, icons of the region.
