2018 has come to an end and now it is time to look back and analyze everything that has happened during the last year; new customers, new destinations, innovations made in our projects and new additions to the team.

For this reason, Vision Tour was held for the third year in a row, this time in Madrid, one of the destinations with more tourism growth previsions for the forthcoming years, taking advantage of the most important tourism fair in Spain, FITUR 2019 and Wanderlust 2019 event organized by the hotel factory, Borbalán and Passion & Gastronomy; with CaixaBank as host.

During this outdoor interpersonal relationships were prioritized to improve teamwork skills, communication and the integration of the entire team in the knowledge of new strategies and changes in the company’s future.

Gymkhana in “Madrid de los Austrias”

After the presentations, one of the funniest activities of the day was held with the Gymkhana that Natalia Parejo, from Dreams & Adventures, organized for us to explore each of the corners of “Madrid de los Austrias”.

Competitiveness, strategy and effectiveness were some of the skills that were put into practice during this activity, and thanks to which all teams successfully beat much of the tests that were proposed. During the activity, the participants had to meet all kinds of challenges, from guessing the riddles that Madrid hides to making a Flash Mob in the Plaza Mayor, and all in the shortest possible time

Congratulations to the winning team, whose members were able to demonstrate their abilities with greater skill!

It is said that every effort has its reward, so after 3 hours of Gymkhana there was no better reward for all than enjoying a gastronomic experience in the BiBo restaurant managed by the famous Michelin star chef Dani García, who last year amazed us with his creations in Wanderlust event and which delighted us with a menu of seven exceptional dishes that did not leave anyone indifferent.
