15 Mar MICE Dubrovnik: Team Building Ideas

Posted at 06:27h in Events by

Incentives are one of the most effective builders of workplace culture, and one of the best ways to rewards your employees and associates. Specialized surveys reveal that incentive travel is by far one of the most important corporate culture builders.  The prime concern in considering all the qualifiers for your next MICE event is a destination.  Preferably connected to all the major European airports with short flights, a perfect MICE destination also has to have high-end accommodation and conference facilities, rich culture, along plenty of options for nature and outdoor activities. As it turns out, Dubrovnik ticks all those boxes. A worldwide famous travel destination and a UNESCO heritage site, Dubrovnik is also a champion of the Croatian MICE industry, with many unique event venues. Here are some team-building ideas for your Dubrovnik MICE event.

OUTDOOR CHALLENGES

Your team-building sports day doesn’t have to be limited to the sports facilities of one of the luxury Dubrovnik hotels. Follow the footsteps of Dubrovnik Half-marathon and organize a relay race on the spectacular City Walls of Dubrovnik. Running along one of the most beautiful monumental fortifications in Europe is a race like no other.  Donkey riding and buggy races on Srđ Hill above Dubrovnik might be the fun you’re looking for. Grab the electro bikes and follow the winding roads around Dubrovnik. Pedal all the way to the picturesque Konavle countryside, with its mills, historic monuments, farms, and more. In case your corporate team loves a demanding physical challenge, consider bike and hike tours of Pelješac Peninsula. Its olive groves, vineyards, impressive peaks, and 360 degrees vistas are a dynamic, balanced mixture of outdoor challenge and reward.

GLORIOUS FOOD AND HEAVENLY WINES

Traditional Dubrovnik cuisine is one of six distinct culinary traditions in Croatia. Local customized food tours are arguably among some of the best in the country, allowing you to taste the region at your own pace. The highlights of Dubrovnik cuisine include many specialties, most notably the European oysters from the Bay of Mali Ston. This outstanding delicacy has been continuously cultivated in Ston for almost 2000 years. The tour of the world-famous vineries of Pelješac Peninsula could be that special grand finale for your Dubrovnik MICE event, a team-building idea that will leave no one indifferent.

BASK IN THE AFTERGLOW

No list of team-building ideas is complete without some strictly relaxing time. Besides plenty of leisured sightseeing or luxury spa treatments at Dubrovnik hotels, you can always opt for a laid-back day on the beach. Pick up one of Dubrovnik’s popular city beaches or chill at the untamed island beaches of Lokrum, Mljet, or Lopud. Soak in the sun and splash in the translucent Adriatic Sea, basking in your well-deserved incentive afterglow.
