MICE tourism, or business tourism, is an important sector of the economy that encompasses all trips and stays made for professional reasons, such as meetings, congresses, conferences or fairs . This type of tourism has a great economic impact, as it generates income for hotel companies, restaurants, transport and other sectors.

But today we want to talk to you about the social impact of these types of meetings and team building activities, and how holding them in nature contributes to strengthening the ties between a company's workers. And it is that these informal meetings, outside the work environment, can help create a more positive and cohesive atmosphere in the company.

Difficulties in doing company activities in the work environment

What company doesn't want to have a workforce of motivated, connected and engaged workers? Strengthening the ties between work teams is a big challenge, and it is often difficult to raise it in day-to-day life and in the usual work space. One of the main difficulties is that workers can be more dependent on their tasks than on the people around them, so that the proposed activities can always be relegated to the back burner.

On the other hand, in the work environment it is much more difficult to make role changes or deeper reflections, and this can make it difficult to connect between people from different departments or different hierarchical levels.

This is why more and more companies choose to organize meetings and events in nature, in a space prepared to receive company teams, and with a privileged location.

Benefits of meeting in nature

Relaxing, breathing fresh air, changing scenery and dynamics: these are the main benefits of organizing business meetings in nature. Changing cement for green allows you to admire the horizon in a different way, and can be a source of inspiration and creativity. Encounters in nature can help workers think "outside the box" and generate new ideas.

How to choose a venue for meeting tourism

When choosing an establishment to carry out your company's activities, it is important to take several factors into account:
  • The location : The venue must be located in an accessible place for the participants.
  • The facilities : The venue must have the necessary facilities for your event, such as conference rooms, meeting rooms, restaurants or entertainment areas.
  • The services : The venue must offer the services you need, and for this reason you must first think about the needs of your event. What type of event is it? How many people will attend? What facilities and services do you need?
  • Experience : As with everything, experience is a degree. Choosing an establishment that has already held several types of events is a guarantee for the success of your next event.
