What does the destination I have chosen stand for? What image does it have? When it comes to security, these questions are crucial for many event planners, but when it comes to popularity and price, the answer is often slightly different. Even before event planners start researching a destination, they usually already have an approximate picture of the destination in mind.

2019-07-10Montenegro: Climbing with sea views

There’s no shortage of locations where MICE groups can recharge amidst stunning landscapes. But in Montenegro “hanging out” in nature can mean hanging from a parasail, a kitesurfing control bar, or the cord that has you tethered to a rock face. The small Balkan state offers medieval villages, fantastic bays and ice-cold glaciers as well as being a true sports paradise. So it comes as no surprise that it is attracting more and more MICE groups to the Adriatic coast with its mountain bike and white water rafting tours.
