Good to know: one of the best incentive destinations in Europe right now might be Albania 🇦🇱✨

Harm spent 3 days exploring Albania, and it completely blew his (and our) mind and expectations. Think: a Cold War bunker turned into a stunning private event venue, sunset drinks over Tirana from a rooftop bar, ATV rides along the Durrës coastline, and an unforgettable Raki tasting.

Add farm-to-table dinners, a hidden vineyard, brand-new 5-star hotels like Crowne Plaza Durrës and Meliá Durrës, and views over Bovilla Lake that genuinely stop you in your tracks, and you have a destination that does it all: authentic, adventurous, luxurious and all within a short drive.

We know that Albania isn’t on everyone’s radar yet. A pity, and exactly why it should be on yours 🌍

📍 Link in bio to explore the destination in Harm’s blog!

With special thanks to our local partner DMC Fine Travel Albania | ✨

And there is more. Mucho más! Beyond the meeting room, discover the iconic Guggenheim Museum, the charming Casco Viejo, Michelin-starred dining and unforgettable incentive experiences. How about hot-air ballooning over Rioja or paragliding and coastal adventures?
