Let me explain, when we organize incentives anywhere in the world we always like to have a few surprises up our sleeves. This makes the trips unique, exciting and more importantly memorable for the participants.
One of the activities we used in New York was a “Champagne Toast to the Manhattan skyline” on top of the Empire State Building. Although it sounds rather cheesy, it was always well received
.
It involved making our way by coach to the ESB and on the way we would ask if anyone could name any films that featured the building. King Kong and Sleepless in Seattle were always mentioned. So with that thought in their heads we made our way up to the Observation Deck on the 86th Floor just as the lights were coming up at dusk over Manhattan.What a spectacle.
You can see where this is going now can’t you !!
I summon the group together and ask for the champagne cocktails to be brought out for our guests. Who should walk out with the tray of drinks but a 7 foot American actor dressed in a gorilla outfit. What a reaction, laughter, excitement, cameras and even some applause. What a great photo opportunity and discussion topic for when they got back home.
Unfortunately King Kong is dead in New York, because of various issues like security concerns, health and safety and fear of litigation. The powers that be have said it cannot be arranged anymore. Shame, but that is the world we live in nowadays.
No matter, our challenge at Travel Momentum is to keep coming up with surprises that are possible and leave participants with memories that will last a life time.
