Reunion makes inroads into the incentive group market

REUNION HOSTS 280 INCENTIVE GROUP VISITORS

(Posted 14th April 2015)

A destination with many unique attractions meeting the ideals of adventure seekers as much as those just wanting to laze by a beach, is Reunion, a UNESCO World Heritage for Humanity Site, in growing demand.

Volkswagen France took advantage of the island’s reputation and magnetic pull by bringing 280 professionals for an incentive trip to Reunion after working with IRT, Ile de la Reunion Tourism, DMC Connections and Hotel Lux Reunion Island ***** to put the logistics for the visit together.

Traveling in two groups of 140 each did the selected travelers, drawn from VW’s varied brands like Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda, who were invited with their spouses, pack their bags to participate in what was called the 2015 Explorer Challenge.

Volkswagen France had chosen Reunion for their annual Explorer Challenge series after previously taking their winners to Cuba, India and even Tanzania before selecting Reunion for the 5th edition as an eminently suitable destination, meeting all the criteria and ticking all the right boxes.

The guests were able to explore the wide range of attractions, from snorkeling to helicopter flights, from hiking up volcanoes to watching demonstrations of Sega and Maloya and even partake in a cooking workshop organized for them to showcase Creole cuisine and how meals are prepared and spiced on the island.

With all the 280 participants now back in France was the feedback overwhelming with everyone having had the time of their life and Reunion having further established a strong reputation as an incentive group destination.
