Frequently Asked Questions2020-05-18T14:37:04+00:00
Is using your services more expensive than doing the planning myself?2022-03-03T15:22:00+00:00

No, by no means. Many people think that it must be significantly more expensive to hire someone professional. But in fact, due to our good business relations on the island and the higher volume of orders we normally receive cheaper or commissionable rates, which you would not receive as a direct customer, so that we can keep our agency fee low. Furthermore, there is the possiblity to issue invoices exempt from VAT, under certain conditions, which can mean signficant savings for you.

Obviously our services are not completely for free, but having us in charge will save you time looking for local transportation, reserving restaurants, negotiating with meeting locations, hiring audiovisual equipment, shows and interpreters…. Working with us, you benefit from our extensive local expertise and knowledge as well as from our excellent relationships with our suppliers when it comes to incentive and event planning. We believe that a good relationship is a key factor to get the best prices, flexibility and good onsite assistance. Finally you with us as a partner you will have one point of contact only, one contract and you only need to pay one bill.

To make a long story short: The time and effort saved can make it extremely cost-effective to work with us.

Do I need to pay tourist tax?2022-03-03T15:27:41+00:00

Yes. Since 1 July 2016, the Balearic Islands have imposed a so-called ‘Ecotasa’ (tourist tax),  which must be paid by all tourists who visit Mallorca. The tax was introduced to help inject funds into conserving the environment and to make tourism more sustainable for the islands ever-increasing population in the high-season. This will apply to all levels of holiday accommodation such as hotels and villas, in addition to cruise ships.

The amount you’ll have to pay will vary depending on when you travel and for how long, but it also depends on the type of accommodation you stay in. During 2020 tourists will be charged €1-4 per person per day. In our offer we will state how much eco tax applies for your booking.

Tourist tax is not included in our rates if not stated otherwise. Participants will have to pay this tax on arrival in the hotel.
Is Mallorca a safe destination?2020-05-18T17:06:50+00:00

Mallorca is a safe destination to visit, but you should use common sense. As with any tourist hot spot, petty theft and pickpocketing is common. Be sure to keep an eye on your valuables and be aware of your surroundings.

No, you are not legally obliged to take out travel insurance. For your peace of mind, we recommend that you ensure that you and your colleagues are adequately insured during your stay.

What is the meaning of the acronym MICE?2020-05-18T16:43:50+00:00

The term “MICE” in the context of travel is an acronym for “Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions“, or sometimes called “Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Events”. The MICE market refers to a specialized niche of group tourism dedicated to planning, booking, and facilitating conferences, seminars, and other events.

Will I be expected to pay tips?2020-05-18T14:02:14+00:00

In Mallorca tips are an important component of employees’ incomes in the service industry even though service is officially included in most bills. However, tipping is not included in our prices as we believe it is your decision whether or not to tip. If you are satisfied with the service provided we would recommend to be generous. We all know that demanding MICE groups usually mean additional work for the staff. Unfortunately, however, especially with group bookings, tips are often forgotten, as normally everything is already paid for. If you like, we can agree to determine a part of the budget for tips beforehand and we will take care to distribute it accordingly.

Remember, your tip says more about you than the person you’re leaving it for. Tipping well shows that you’re grateful for the service and have a generous spirit.
