MICE in Colombia: corporate incentive trips, events and team building

Holidays in Colombia is a travel agency (RNT 74577) based in Cartagena de Indias that designs corporate incentive trips, events, conventions and team-building activities in Colombia. We work with groups of 5 to 130 people in Cartagena, the Coffee Region, Bogotá, Santa Marta, the Amazon and other destinations in our portfolio, and we run everything: experience, logistics, transport, lodging and meals. Every proposal is tailored to your group's goal.

What is MICE

MICE stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions. At Holidays in Colombia we cover all four in one place:

• Meetings: strategic meetings, launches and team retreats in destinations with the right infrastructure.

• Incentives: trips that reward goals achieved and strengthen the team.

• Conferences: year-end events, conventions and congresses with a memorable experience.

• Exhibitions (events and activations): brand events, welcome cocktails and corporate dinners.

Purpose-driven experiences for your incentive trip

The trip celebrates the achievement. The experience brings the team back closer.

Activación de Sentido (Activation of Meaning)

A moment that gives meaning to the whole trip. A participatory recognition and connection experience to open or close the trip. Everyone feels their contribution was seen, and the group leaves with a commitment they built together.

• Duration: 90 to 120 minutes

• Ideal for: large groups, conventions and year-end events

• Your company takes home: a recognised team, a collective commitment and a memory people keep retelling.

El Crisol (The Crucible)

Where people melt together and the team transforms. Collaborative challenges inside a story designed for your group, with a guided conversation about how they really work together. It grows in stages; each stage includes the previous ones.

• Catalizador · 4 hours: connection ignites through collaborative challenges and team agreements.

• Fusión · 8 hours (1 day): conversations about roles, trust and shared responsibilities.

• Transmutación · 12 hours (1.5 days): team diagnosis and a concrete action plan.

• Oro · 16 hours (2 days): the team at its best, with shared leadership, its own rituals and follow-up.

• Ideal for: sales teams, administrative areas and leadership teams.

Viaje con Propósito (Journey with Purpose)

The incentive that doesn't end when the trip ends. Support in three moments: preparation before travelling, an experience at the destination and a closing session to bring what was lived back to daily work. It can include an emotional-intelligence diagnosis of the team.

• Format: before, during and after the trip

• Ideal for: companies that want to connect the incentive to next year's goals

• Your company takes home: a summary of learnings and a follow-up plan.

“An incentive trip is one of the few times a company has its people together, rested and with their guard down. It is too valuable to use only for the photo.” — ALKIMISTIKA by Yiseth Caicedo
