Sheep View 360? 🐑

Our Faroe Islands friends shared a hilarious story the other day. Aparently, the absence of the Faroe Islands from Google Street View led Visit Faroe Islands to launch Sheep View 360, using sheep as roaming photographers.

Despite no media budget, the campaign got global attention, with over 7,000 news stories. It even won a Golden Lion in Cannes. Isn’t this story fantastic?

Beyond sheep, the Faroe Islands boast stunning landscapes, making the campaign’s unique perspective even more successful. Learn more from our local partner GreenGate Incoming

Tuscany has experienced a renaissance as a coveted wine destination, with Florence as the main city attraction. It’s recognized for its status as one of the world's most exquisite regions. Beyond renowned areas like Chianti, this allure spans various corners of the region. Our new partner .events features a dynamic team ready to elevate your experience.

For wine enthusiasts, they craft an experience guiding you to the less-explored Super Tuscan wine regions, steering away from the iconic Toscana.

The Super Tuscan wine region, situated in Tuscany, is a haven for wine connoisseurs seeking diverse and exceptional blends. Renowned for differentiating itself from traditional Italian winemaking rules, Super Tuscans often incorporate non-traditional grape varieties, resulting in bold and distinctive flavors. Iconic estates like Sassicaia and Ornellaia contribute to a rich tapestry of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese blends that captivate the discerning palate. Exploring Super Tuscan vineyards unveils a dynamic fusion of tradition and innovation, creating an enticing journey for wine enthusiasts groups.

Warm welcome to hear from you and we’ll put you in contact with Emanuele, Jesse and the rest of their amazing team.

Hamburg. A unique alternative to Berlin.

Looking for a fresh destination in Germany? Look no further than Hamburg! While Berlin may be a popular choice, Hamburg offers a refreshingly unique experience. With its rich maritime heritage, Hamburg presents a picturesque backdrop for events that's different from Berlin's urban landscape. From historic harbor warehouses to modern event spaces, the city provides a diverse array of venues to choose from. Berlin's rich culture, innovative spirit, hotel and culinary scene adds up your attendees’ experience.

The picture? It wasn't captured in Venice; instead, Hamburg showcases a remarkable canal system reminiscent of Venice. These canals, integral to the city's history, served as crucial transportation routes, adding to Hamburg's distinctive allure. Adorned with charming buildings, they offer a scenic setting for relaxed boat excursions.

There are still cities, villages and beaches where the footprint is lighter, the crowds fewer, and the atmosphere more mellow.

If you’re looking for something new to discover this season – do not choose the obvious ones, such as Venice, to name one — Instead, our Italian friends at .events know exactly where to take you. Pick the Friuli Venezia Giulia region instead of Toscana, and why not the lesser-known Puglia instead of Sicilia?

The same goes for the rest of our network of partners. Contact us, and our partners will show you places you might not have heard of before, such as Brno, Nis, Durres, Bitola, Jerez, and the Carpathian wine region, to mention a few. And what about Rotterdam instead of Amsterdam? Certainly, you're familiar with Rotterdam and perhaps even what the girls at can come up with.. and talking about less obvious destinations.. believe you grasp our perspective! 😉

By choosing Morocco as a destination, we not only offer our groups a memorable journey but also contribute to the revival of a nation's economy and spirit.

As we plan for the future, I encourage you to explore this opportunity and consider Morocco as a destination when the time is right. Your support will make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by the earthquake and help Morocco rebuild stronger than ever.

Thank you for your consideration, and let's make a difference together with our partner

RSVP [email protected]

Now and then, we have a catch-up call with our partner in Slovakia. It often happens in the morning while he strolls with his dog in the vineyard. While taking a walk in the vineyard is for him something of a casualty, it is for us, something really dreamy...

Throughout the years, our friends at have created some fantastic itineraries for our clients where white Riesling and Pinot Noir-like red play a main role.

Last year, we were fortunate to try these wines at a wine-tasting event in Stockholm. The event was arranged in collaboration with our partner, the Embassy of Slovak Republic in Stockholm and, of course, , our partner wine estate. This year, we’re doing the same at the elegant Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Oslo. For those of you who are in Norway, a warm and hearty welcome! Register by writing to us at [email protected].

Kalamata in the Peloponnese has, until recently meant one thing to us. The delicious black olive. Not a city surrounded by the mountains and the sea. This was a fact until our friends and partners, Rena and Panos, told us they wanted to bring our clients there on a FAM trip.

Since then, Kalamata has been a natural choice in our itinerary proposed to our clients. And no wonder it’s a fantastic destination with the most azure waters of the Mediterranean. This alone could have been worth the trip itself. Instead, our friends showed us much more to experience, such as fantastic beaches, captivating landscapes and rich history.

And what about the olive, you might think?
Well, the Kalamata olives are a famous table olive for the Mediterranean diet. And they indeed have a special place in the gastronomic scene.

What do you say about planning your next gala dinner at an ancient fortress?

This amazing UNESCO World Heritage site is located atop a rugged plateau in the Judaean Desert near the western shore of the Dead Sea in Israel. The site's dramatic and isolated setting, as well as its historical importance, has made it a favourite venue for breathtaking events organised by our partner .




Bonjour! ☕️

Who’s daydreaming of French adventures today?

Hopefully you’re off on Summer holiday, perhaps somewhere in France. If you’re still around and need someone to brainstorm with about a possible group in France, don’t hesitate to contact us.

We’d be happy to introduce you to our French partners and they’d be thrilled to hear from you. Remember we have two (rather) new DMCs in France? French Factor in the French Riviera, Provence & Monaco and Holt DMC for the rest of France. Why? Because they are simply the best, each one in their own special way and in their respective region. Always hand picked, fulfill our strict criteria and financially solid.

Oh by the way, did you hear we have expanded? We have in fact taken our business into other source markets and have now offices in multiple countries across the world. In France, we have our amazing country manager, Joanna Hansson, who’s looking after France and Benelux for us. If you’re an agent from France or Benelux, and need assistance with a group anywhere in the world, warm welcome to contact Joanna on [email protected].

Warmest welcome to reach out to us with comments or queries. And why not tell us about your own French adventures this Summer?!

Joining us to the incredible Sultanate of Oman?

1-4 October

New opportunity: Post-FAM-Trip 4-6 October

See link in bio!

Feeling so grateful for the most perfect days with our new Country Managers from Spain, Portugal; Aníbal García,
France, Benelux; Joanna Hansson,
India; Manan Mahajan, the Dach market; Javier Gonzalez and International; Raquel Cobo.

Here, a few snapshot of our days and nights in Stockholm. After the first day of hard work in the conference room, the evening commenced with an aperitif at Natasha’s house. Lots of dance steps later, the eve ended with a dinner in style out in the Stockholm Summer night.

Day two included a Teams meeting with our global network of DMCs. A true goosebump moment: 40 super excited people gathered. After work, fun: What better way of showing Stockholm to the team than from the sea. So we took them on a boat trip to the dinner venue. It was a true delight to the senses and we even managed to take one or two dance steps. Even there. What a perfect end to a busy three days of networking and immersive experiences.

Best team - We hope you enjoyed your time with us as much as we did! Thanks for all the good laughs and for making the days so memorable.
