Looking forward to listen to what Italian colleagues can say about the recovery of incentive industry. Congresses are “replaced” by virtual events and hybrids, but what about incentives? You can not “virtually” swim in the Adriatic sea, can you? Also, when I watch how a cocktail is prepared during a virtual event (travel trade show), my lips are “stuck” with a Croatian wine only. Nobody advises in advance what ingredients to buy. Very sad because not a single incentive landed in a year and a half.
