Who we are, in short
Incentives Portugal is the incentives and events brand of the Ecotravel Group, a licensed Portuguese travel company based in Porto (RNAVT 2811). Since 2007 we have organised programmes for Portuguese and international companies, with our own team and local suppliers in every destination.
The group won Portugal's Leading Tour Operator at the World Travel Awards in 2023 and 2024, holds Biosphere sustainability certification and also operates Cruzeiros Douro river cruises — so we know Porto and the Douro Valley better than most.
Social impact incentives
Reward your people. Leave something good behind.
More and more companies want their incentive trips to match their sustainability commitments. We design programmes with a lighter footprint, a CSR activity with a local charity and regional suppliers — without losing the reward feel.

Sample programme
3 days in Porto and the Douro Valley
A starting point. Every proposal is built around your objectives, group size and budget.
Day 1 · Porto
Airport meet and greet, hotel check-in. Walking tour of the UNESCO-listed old town, port wine tasting in a historic cellar in Vila Nova de Gaia and welcome dinner overlooking the river.
Day 2 · Douro Valley
Drive to the Douro wine region. Private river cruise between terraced vineyards, lunch at a wine estate and a team activity in the vines. Back to Porto for a free evening or a themed dinner.
Day 3 · Porto
Meeting or workshop in a venue of your choice, farewell lunch with northern Portuguese cuisine and airport transfer.
We can add business sessions, a gala dinner, an awards night or an extra day.
Frequently asked questions
What does a DMC in Portugal do?
A destination management company handles everything on the ground: hotels, transfers and coaches, venues, restaurants, guides, activities and on-site coordination. You deal with one local partner instead of dozens of suppliers.
What happens after I send a request?
A member of our team calls you the same business day if your request arrives before 5:30 pm Portugal time, otherwise the next business day. We use that call to understand your objectives and expectations, then we prepare the proposal.
How much does an incentive trip to Portugal cost?
It depends on the destination, season, length of stay, hotel category and activities. We don't sell fixed packages: every proposal is free, with no obligation, and priced service by service.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend 4 to 6 months for incentive trips, and 6 to 12 months for large groups or travel between May and October. Shorter lead times are often possible — send us your dates and we will check availability.
Do you work with incentive houses and agencies?
Yes. We work directly with corporate clients and as the local ground partner for incentive agencies, event agencies and meeting planners.
Are you a licensed company?
Yes. Incentives Portugal belongs to Ecotravel Lda, a travel agency licensed by Turismo de Portugal (RNAVT 2811) and covered by the Portuguese Travel and Tourism Guarantee Fund.
