What is an incentive trip?
An incentive trip is a reward offered by a company for reaching targets — usually to sales teams, dealers, distributors or key clients. Unlike a cash bonus, it creates a shared memory and a stronger bond with the brand.
In Portugal we organise 2 to 5-day incentive programmes with hotels, transport, dining, exclusive experiences and recognition moments such as gala dinners and awards nights.
Why companies choose Portugal
Easy to reach
Direct flights to Lisbon, Porto and Faro from most European cities and from North America.
Safe
Portugal ranks among the safest countries in the world on the Global Peace Index.
Great value
High-quality hotels, venues and dining at prices that compare well with other Western European destinations.
Variety
Cities, wine regions, beaches and islands in one programme, with short transfer times.

Sample programme
3 days in Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais
Inspired by a programme we organised for Nissan.
Day 1 · Lisbon
Arrival and check-in, then an exploration of Lisbon's hills by GoCar or private tram. Welcome dinner at a viewpoint over the city.
Day 2 · Sintra and Cascais
Jeep tour through the Sintra hills and along the coast to Cascais. Seafood lunch by the ocean, free afternoon and a gala dinner with awards in the evening.
Day 3 · Lisbon
Portuguese cooking workshop in teams, lunch of what you cooked and airport transfer.
Every programme is designed from scratch: length, hotels and activities change with each group.

Incentive travel to Portugal: FAQ
How long should an incentive trip to Portugal be?
Three to four days is most common. On the mainland, three days is enough to combine a city with a nearby region (Porto and the Douro, Lisbon and Sintra). For Madeira and the Azores we recommend four to five days.
When is the best time to go?
April to June and September to October offer good weather and less demand than summer. Madeira is pleasant all year round, and the Algarve and Madeira are excellent winter options.
Can you combine meetings with the incentive?
Yes. We book meeting space, arrange technical production and build the business sessions into the programme without losing the reward feel of the trip.
Do you organise programmes for dealers and clients, not only staff?
Yes. Many incentive programmes are for dealers, partners and key accounts. We adapt the tone, activities and communication to each audience.
Is there a minimum group size?
There is no fixed minimum. The programmes in our case studies ranged from 20 to 100 participants; for larger groups we secure hotels and venues further in advance.
