ALTERNATIVE 🔎 INSPECTION
During our last inspection in April we had the opportunity to go through the last traces of snow thanks to the top-notch service of Etna Travel Service which allowed us to reach one of the highest points of the Etna.
And we didn't turn our nose up at a lunch with a sea view, as usual 🤩

ALTERNATIVE 🧢 VISITS

It gives us such a joy when we meet face to face our suppliers!

Some days ago we visited the beautiful area of Cefalù and Castelbuono and we discovered some little gems we look so much forward to adding to our programmes.

Do you know that from just one main ingredient, milk, it is possible to make more than twenty completely different types of cheese? Now we do know that and we also tasted most of them 😋

We also learned why we say: "manna dal cielo", but this is another history.

Can't wait to join the next site inspection!

ALTERNATIVE 👜 ON TOUR

What a Tour in the South of France!

We are right back from a sales mission in Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux.
Our Sales Representative Andrea Kupper, together with Irene Avogadri | Boutique Holland, and Manuel Horta | Abreu Events Portugal and Spain stopped by lots of French clients to promote our beautiful destination.

And during the time off, we could have some short visits, without forgetting a toast with a delicious glass of French wine.

We do love promoting Sicily abroad!

ALTERNATIVE 🔎 INSPECTION

Go Rivertubing or Canyoning in the Alcantara Gorges is always a nice experience to be included in a programme for an incentive in Sicily, especially if clients want to be ACTIVE!
And, yes, it is also a nice reason to go site-inspecting in order to check the river conditions to offer the perfect welcome to our guests!

ALTERNATIVE 🐟 VILLAGE OF FISHERMEN

Have you ever visited Marzamemi?
It is one of the Sicily's prettiest seaside villages located near Noto and Syracuse, in the baroque area of Val di Noto. In the little fishing harbour you find bobbing fleet of colourful wooden boats surrounded by charming buildings in a picturesque style. And, nevertheless, you will get confused by the consistent offer of typical restaurants with excellent culinary experiences ready to surprise you.

You can include Marzamemi in an incentive trip for a walking tour, a team-building, a cooking-class, a stunning dinner in the amazing ancient trap.

ALTERNATIVE 💼 ON TOUR IN PARIS

Going on Sales blitz abroad it does not mean visiting clients with laptops, business cards and boring presentations.

We do it differently!
Don't you think learning how to make Sicilian limoncello liqueur at office can be a memorable experience for our French clients?

Hartwig did it in Paris last week and...yes, it was an "alternative" visit indeed!

ALTERNATIVE 🪕 FOLK BAND

Which type of live music do you like most and think your clients would appreciate for a memorable entertainment at an event?

Folk Bands bring Sicilian local traditions at an event by stopping by the tables, involving guests in the entertainment by making them real performers, energizing people and inviting them to sing and dance all together.

It does not matter the style, but it has to be one-of-a-kind!
Impress your clients and create the "wow-effect" that they deserve!

ALTERNATIVE ✨ AT WORK

When you admire Cefalù on the background while having a meeting with clients.

What an amazing spot for our next event in the Northern coast of Sicily.

26/07/2022

ALTERNATIVE ✨ EVENT

A Sicilian dinner set up in a historic and noble villa in Western Sicily.
This is what our group of 16 French special guests enjoyed in a warm summer evening.

It is somewhat to add "allure" to an incentive. Isn't it?

20/07/2022

ALTERNATIVE 📸 EVENT EXPERIENCE

Having fun at an event depends on people who you share experiences and a few details that can help ice-breaking.

Also a basic shooting can make the difference if it becomes a kind of game between the participants!

Three, two, one....strike a pose!😃

14/07/2022

ALTERNATIVE 💼 ON TOUR

We are back from a sales blitz in Paris together with our Sales Representative Andrea Kupper.

Notwithstanding the burning agenda of our French colleagues, we had the chance to get important appointments just pronouncing a magic phrase: "Hartwig will come to say Hi!"

How much essential are human relationships in our industry?

31/03/2022

ALTERNATIVE 💼 ON TOUR

Being an event professional in Sicily means getting energy, inspiration and creativity from the beauties all around.

Sometimes a photographer, sometimes an innovator, sometimes a business man (😎 ), Hartwig Nollet has fun as a chameleon of MICE.

And yes, guys, it is a hard job that we implicitly love.

ALTERNATIVE 🎗 HUMAN

Un viaggio è anche una condizione mentale.
Non sempre è possibile cambiare luogo, ma mutare il proprio pensiero e sentirsi parte del tutto a volte può dare la stessa consapevolezza che si ha incontrando popoli e culture differenti.
Quando il viaggio è conoscenza, sapere che abbiamo tutti gli stessi diritti, allora tu sei in viaggio.

Travelling is a state of mind.
Even when we are not able to leave we can change our thinking and feel ourselves as a part of the universe; this gives us the awareness we can reach when meeting foreign people and cultures.

When travelling means knowing that everyone has the same rights, we become authentic travellers.

21/02/2022

ALTERNATIVE 👀 Did you Know?

Have you ever seen a tree made of 4300 wool tiles and 11 meters high?
You can find it in Castellammare del Golfo, where the “Uncinette” realised it at the beginning of the pandemic as a social project powered by the local community.

16/02/2022

ALTERNATIVE ⛵ SAILING EXPERIENCE

Is there a better feeling than clipping through the waves with the sun on your face? Or watching stars come out over the Aeolian or Egadi islands with a glass of Sicilian wine or prosecco?

You can lunch on board, try a ‘skipper experience’, enjoy time together with a group of intrepid participants who want to have fun team-building on the sea.

We are ready to offer you an alternative sailing experience. We are just a phone call away!
