MICE & Incentive Travel in Sicily
Meetings, incentive trips and corporate events designed around your objectives and delivered on the ground by a local destination management team.
Experience
Events we have brought to life
Three incentive evenings our team has organised across Sicily, each built around the place and the group. Read the full story on our blog: The power of the DJ set in incentive events.
Cefalù · International corporate event
Dinner in a private villa, a DJ set beneath the palm trees, cocktails made with Sicilian products and a terrace looking out over the sea.
Noto · U.S. tech team
A welcome drink on the beach, deep house music at sunset, an open bar and branded gadgets, closing with a fireworks finale.
Etna · French brand
A tasting in a private winery cellar, a DJ joined by a live saxophonist, visual mapping projected onto the walls and an open-air party.
Why Great Sicily
A local partner for the whole programme
We are a destination management company based in Sicily. Planning, suppliers and on-site delivery are coordinated by one team, so your programme stays consistent from the first brief to the last transfer.
- Local knowledgeVenues, routes, seasons and suppliers we know first-hand, from the Tyrrhenian coast to the Baroque south-east and Etna.
- Operational coordinationOne point of contact for hotels, transport, catering, guides and technical suppliers.
- Built on your objectivesReward, team building, product launch or meeting: the programme is shaped around what the event needs to achieve.
Programmes with a purpose
A good incentive is more than a beautiful location. It is the right sequence of moments: an arrival that sets the tone, working sessions in a space that suits them, free time that feels personal, and an evening the group will talk about afterwards.
We start from your goals and your audience. A sales team rewarded for a strong year needs a different rhythm from a board meeting or a product launch. From there we select venues, plan transfers and timings, and choose experiences that show a real side of Sicily: its food and wine, its landscapes, its history and its people.
Throughout planning you deal with one coordinator who knows every detail of the file, and during the event our team stays close to the programme, adjusting where needed so the group can simply enjoy it.

Frequently asked questions
What size of group can you handle?
We work with groups of different sizes, from small executive teams to larger incentive groups. Share your numbers in the brief and we will confirm suitable venues and hotels.
How far in advance should we contact you?
As early as possible. Popular venues and hotels in high season are booked well ahead, and more lead time gives you more options.
Can you combine meetings with leisure activities?
Yes. Many programmes mix working sessions with excursions, tastings, team-building activities or a gala evening.
Can you include pre- and post-event extensions?
Yes. We can plan extra days in Sicily for delegates before or after the main programme.
Do you manage dietary and accessibility requirements?
Yes. Tell us about dietary needs and accessibility requirements in the brief and we will plan menus, venues and transport accordingly.
Do you work with agencies and event planners?
Yes. We work both with companies directly and with agencies and event planners who need a local partner in Sicily.
