We Are The Future of Corporate Travel
From Transactional to Transformational
For 20 years, we've been pioneers in authentic experiential travel. Now, Culture Discovery's B2B division, Culture Discovery Destinations, brings that same transformational approach to corporate events—moving beyond traditional MICE to create experiences that genuinely change how your team connects.
Unlike Every Other DMC...
Traditional DMCs Provide:
Culture Discovery Delivers:
Your Strategic Advantages
Direct Operator Advantage
We're not another DMC coordinating suppliers. We ARE the supplier. With our own teams and infrastructure in every destination, we control every detail rather than hope our vendors deliver.
The Relationship Ecosystem
After 20 years, our local partners aren't vendors in our network. They're dear friends who open their homes to your teams. This creates access and experiences that simply cannot be purchased.
Transformational Promise
While others organize team-building exercises, we create transformational experiences. Your team doesn't just visit Italy. They cook with local grandmothers, learning recipes passed down through generations.
Integration Innovation
Why limit corporate events to conference rooms? We seamlessly blend land experiences with private charter cruises, creating multi-country programs impossible for traditional operators to replicate.
What Fits Your Organization?
MICE Reimagined: Beyond Conference Rooms
Transform your meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions from standard corporate events into transformational cultural experiences that drive innovation and deeper team connection.
Instead of another hotel conference room, imagine your board meeting in a medieval castle overlooking Tuscan vineyards, where the setting itself inspires breakthrough thinking. Picture your product launch in a 16th-century palazzo where Medici royalty once held court, lending gravitas and memorability to your announcement.
Our MICE events weave authentic cultural experiences throughout your business agenda. Lunch breaks become cooking sessions with local families. Networking happens during private wine tastings in centuries-old cellars. Team sessions take place in artisan workshops where participants create something meaningful together.
This isn't event planning... it's experience design that transforms how your team thinks, connects, and innovates. Every detail is managed by our direct operations teams, ensuring flawless execution while you focus on business outcomes that matter.
Transformational Incentives: Beyond Rewards
Move beyond traditional incentive trips that reward performance to transformational experiences that inspire future excellence and create lasting emotional connections to your organization.
While others offer Gladiator training as entertainment, we create leadership metaphors through ancient Roman combat techniques that reveal team dynamics. Instead of standard cooking classes, your team learns from local grandmothers in their family kitchens, understanding tradition, patience, and craftsmanship in ways that transform how they approach their work.
In Croatia, private island dinners aren't just exclusive dining—they're intimate settings where local fishing families share stories of resilience and community that resonate with your corporate values. Portugal's port wine cellars become classrooms for understanding patience, quality, and the long view of success.
These experiences create emotional anchors that connect your top performers not just to a reward, but to a deeper understanding of excellence, tradition, and what it means to be part of something meaningful. The memories become motivation for years to come.
Charter Experiences: Beyond Cruising
Our Croatia charter offerings transcend typical yacht rentals to become floating venues for transformation, where the journey between destinations becomes as valuable as the destinations themselves.
Your executive team doesn't just cruise the Adriatic—they participate in traditional fishing with local families who've worked these waters for generations, learning about sustainable practices, community support, and the patience required for long-term success. Morning strategy sessions happen on deck with the Croatian islands as backdrop, while evening debriefs take place over dinners prepared by local families on private beaches.
Our charters integrate seamlessly with land experiences. Truffle hunting in Istria becomes a lesson in collaboration and attention to detail. Wine tastings at family vineyards explore the intersection of tradition and innovation. Oyster farming in Mali Ston demonstrates how patience and environmental stewardship create premium outcomes.
Every charter includes traditional klapa singing performances that aren't just entertainment—they're demonstrations of how individual voices create something greater together, providing powerful metaphors for teamwork and harmony.
Leadership Retreats: Beyond Meeting Rooms
Step away from traditional conference environments and immerse your leadership team in settings that naturally foster creativity, breakthrough thinking, and renewed perspective on what's possible.
Executive retreats in private Tuscan villas aren't just about changing scenery—they're about changing mindset. Morning yoga overlooking rolling hills prepares leaders for strategic sessions in Renaissance gardens, where the long view of history provides context for long-term thinking.
Innovation workshops on Croatian terraces overlooking the Adriatic create natural space for blue-sky thinking. Strategic planning in Portuguese quintas, where centuries-old wine cellars provide the perfect metaphor for patient cultivation of results, helps leaders understand the balance between urgency and patience.
Our retreats blend serious business with cultural immersion that provides fresh perspectives. Teams create wine blends together, learning about the patience and precision required for excellence. Olive harvest experiences demonstrate how collective effort creates outcomes greater than individual contributions.
These aren't just activities—they're carefully designed experiences that help leaders see their challenges and opportunities through new lenses, returning to work with renewed energy and expanded thinking.
