Incentive Trip to Istanbul

When a global technology company wanted to recognise and reward 300 of their top performers, Viva Esprit worked with the Chief Sales Officer to deliver a celebratory programme in May 2025 that recognised individuals who had delivered exceptional growth and value.

Istanbul provided the perfect backdrop for this luxurious event; each attendee was invited to bring a guest, making the trip feel even more personal and rewarding.

A welcome video from the Chief Sales Officer was sent to delegates, setting the tone for the trip ahead of time, while an event app supported communications throughout the programme, providing schedules, updates and opportunities for people to interact.

Delegates were encouraged to choose activities in advance, from experiences such as a Dolmabahçe Palace and cruise, a mosaic lamp workshop, and an Asian and European tasting boat tour. Photos, feedback and insights from the event were shared ‘in the moment’ via the app.

A rooftop welcome dinner offered outstanding views across the city, followed by food at the historic 1001 Cistern. Opera singers, violinists and a magician entertained at the gala dinner on the terrace of Ciragan Palace on the final day. Feedback from delegates was unanimously first rate.
