Sweden — the strongest Nordic contrast in Europe
Give your guests an experience they could never have at home — Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), archipelago, Arctic and Scandinavian design, delivered by a Stockholm DMC since 1987
The destination that feels furthest from Southern Europe — without leaving Europe
For Spanish companies, Sweden offers something increasingly difficult to find in incentive travel: genuine contrast. Within a few hours of leaving Madrid or Barcelona, delegates can find themselves in landscapes, climates and experiences that feel completely different from everyday life in Southern Europe. From Stockholm's archipelago and Scandinavian design culture to Arctic winter experiences above the Arctic Circle, Sweden provides a destination that surprises even well-travelled guests. For incentive travel, executive retreats and client programmes, the country combines memorable experiences with the reliability, safety and infrastructure expected by international planners. Since 1987, Adventy has designed and delivered conferences, incentives and corporate events throughout Sweden.

The opposite of an Andalusian incentive
Many Spanish organisations choose Sweden when they want an event that feels genuinely different from traditional Mediterranean destinations. Instead of beaches, historic city centres and warm-weather resorts, guests experience a programme participants remember long after the event has ended.

The experience most Spanish guests have never had
For many Spanish delegates, Swedish Lapland represents a completely new world. Snow-covered forests, frozen rivers, husky sledding, Sámi culture and the Northern Lights create experiences that are difficult to replicate elsewhere in Europe. For many Spanish groups, Lapland becomes the defining memory of the entire programme.

The surprise nobody expects
Many Southern European visitors arrive expecting Sweden to be cold. Summer quickly changes that perception. From June through August, the Stockholm Archipelago offers long daylight hours, warm evenings, sailing experiences, private islands and waterfront dining. For Spanish groups, the combination of Nordic scenery and unexpectedly pleasant summer conditions often becomes one of the highlights of the destination.
