Valencia Ventures

Celebrating and team building under the Valencian sun

Celebrating their company’s anniversary, our client sought a Destination Management Company to organize a four-day trip to Valencia for 90 people. We developed a tailor-made comprehensive program for them, covering everything from airplane tickets and hotel accommodations to dining locations and team-building activities, communication and the complete event management.

The purpose of the event trip was team building, integrate new people, getting to know eachother and setting the course for the next coming years as a team.

Upon arrival on the first day, instead of heading directly into the city and to the hotel, the group was taken to Albufera. After a short boat trip, they arrived at a beautiful “barraca” where they were greeted by Spanish music and invited to a paella workshop.

Under the Valencian sun, beside the waters of Albufera, they participated in a paella cooking competition guided by professional paella chefs. After the competition, the teams gathered to eat and taste the different paellas.

On the second day, the group was divided into smaller groups for different tours of Valencia. By bike and on foot, they explored various sites with guides speaking different languages. They reconvened for a well-deserved lunch. After an afternoon of leisure, they visited one of the largest orange plantations in Valencia, where a beautiful country house was prepared for a gala dinner. The evening concluded with a spectacular Flamenco show, which received a standing ovation.

After a good night’s sleep, the groups were once again divided to go on adventures in and around the city. There were jeep excursions, a hiking trip in the mountains with swimming in caves and under waterfalls, museum tours, and a sailing boat excursion. Lunch was provided on location, including a sophisticated meal on board the sailboat and picnics in the countryside with long tables full of delicious tapas.

The last evening was celebrated at a well-known club by the beach, where, after dinner, a salsa show inspired everyone to dance late into the night. The next morning, the group enjoyed a relaxing yoga session and a refreshing walk on the beach before heading back home.

The objectives of team building, cohesion, and sharing a mutual experience were highly achieved. The group returned with high spirits and strengthened team bonds.
