Everybody was thrilled at the opportunity to embark on an incentive trip to Paris, to take in the excitement of the UEFA Champions League Final, and the many other wonders that the city of love has to offer.
3 groups, 3 different airlines, 3 hotels… and, as a result, plenty of drama and action (and yes, even outside of navigating our way through the footie hooligans and their raucous antics).
The reality is that international travel is rather chaotic at the moment, which is why it’s so important to book with an incentive expert. Airports everywhere are busy and severely understaffed, flights are overbooked, flight cancellations are happening all the time, delays are the norm, hotels are under-equipped for the demand and service providers are not yet up to speed.
We were so pleased to remove any travel-related stress from the equation and play a part in delivering lifetime experiences for our clients.
Upon arrival, what a delight it was to soak up the warm weather and gorgeous summertime sights.
Highlights of the trip included a Petanque (Boules) lesson and a tournament in picturesque Tuileries Garden. It’s safe to say that things turned competitive amongst our travellers very quickly indeed… much to the delight of the Parisians who were watching from the sidelines! This was followed by a guided city tour in a convoy of vintage Citroen cabriolet cars – a somewhat different, but enormously fun way to explore the city’s many highlights.
The game itself was another highlight. Quite the nail-biter and definitely worth all the hype. To top off the trip, our last day was spent cruising up and down the River Seine on a privately chartered boat – with lunch served on board.
In short, despite the challenges of travelling to Europe in post-COVID times, we at GILTEDGE put our expertise to good use and made sure that our guests had nothing to worry about besides making the most of the incentive trip.
Proof that it definitely pays to have a travel expert on your side right now!
