Peggy Fritz, Meetings & Incentives (Team North America 2012)
The 8th Switzerland Meeting Trophy is the most memorable experience thus far in my career. The program truly immerses you in the culture of Switzerland, such that one experiences the life, culture, activity, dining and history of each city/village. I departed with a genuine sense of what is possible for incentives and meetings and feel very confident that Switzerland is poised to accommodate any type of program due to its infinite resources. If you are selected as a team member, it is a true and memorable honor!
Nell Nicholas, HelmsBriscoe (Team North America 2012)
The 2012 Meeting Trophy experience in Switzerland is something I will never forget. The format in which to fully experience a region of Switzerland for a future program is unsurpassed. I don't know how SCIB can pack in so much in such a short period of time and yet leave us participants refreshed and totally enthusiastic to book Switzerland for our next program. Kudos to you, SCIB for showing me a part of Switzerland I had never experienced before but can now promote the region with a tremendous amount of knowledge to my clients for a program they will never forget.

"This is really the one of the best fam trips any CVB puts on. I really feel that it gives me a lot more, and more useful information about Switzerland than touring a dozen or so hotels and conference centers would. It's a great way to get a feel for the country, and the type of program that can be put on there. It really opened my eyes to what lovely city Zurich really is. Just walking around, the amount of music that was everywhere (such as a brass band playing on a tram that went by) really made an impression. The food was great and just walking around the river and lake was really pleasant.
Amalia Nunez, Meridican Incentive Consultants (Team North America 2012)
From beginning to end it was excellent. Our hosts were amazing, every detail was perfectly planned and executed, I loved being able to see so much of Switzerland rather than just seeing hotel after hotel and venue after venue and not being able to remember one from the other. It was the best FAM I have ever participated in and I think it's the best way to promote your products. I'm praising everything about the trip to anyone who will listen and I'm sure I'm not the only one!!
Lucy Ainsley, Paragon Events (Team Great Britain 2012)
I was privilege to be part of the 8th Meeting Trophy Switzerland having the opportunity to experience such a beautiful country, participate in fantastically well organised activities with a great team of people and enjoyed wonderful hospitality. Overall a fantastically well executed event in which I shall never forget and ensure I encourage my clients to visit Switzerland time and time again!
Alex Chalk, CWT (Team Great Britain 2012)
I am very impressed with how well organised such an action packed itinerary was executed. All Swiss hosts were in the spirit of the trophy and subsequently each team adequately egged on. I had an amazing time, so thank you!
Åse Frosth, Get2gether(Team Nordic Countries 2012)
I think that Switzerland is so unique that anyone needs to visit the country to experience it's beauty..With it's majestetic scenery and traditional Style. Switzerland will always be worth a visit. I will remember this trip for à very long time.
Dorein Driesen, Uniglobe Incentive & Group Travel (Team Belgium 2012)
An educational like I had never experienced before! Getting to know this beautiful country in a fun and interactive way, while meeting a lot of new people ... I would recommend it to everybody! Thanks a lot for the amazing time in Switserland!!
Britt Vanroelen, American Express Meetings & Events (Team Belgium 2012)
The Swiss meeting trophy is an excellent organized fam trip. This is by far the best fam trip I have ever experienced and probably ever will. It really boasts the image of Switzerland and it is absoloutely not the country I imagined Switzerland would be. I got to know a lot of new amazing people and I went home with the best memories and still puts a smile on my face whenever I think about it.
Claire Massart, Incentive Destinations s (Team Belgium 2012)
amazing organization, charming welcome everywhere, excellent co-ordinator, nice contacts for business - we didn't loose our time. Congratulations to the team.
Mandy Rizzo, Mindstream - Conferences and congresses (Team Belgium 2012)
If you are going to plan an event for event planners, well it better be good. The Swiss Meeting Trophy isn't just good--it's completely over the top! Not only do you get to experience Switzerland you get to meet professionals from the industry from all around the world. It is not a site inspection--it is an incredible life experience.
Karin de Graauw, BBT Online (Team Belgium 2012)
The Swiss Meeting Trophy is without any doubt THE famtrip of the famtrips. It runs like clockwork. Above all the atmosphere and good mood between the participants/countries is something really unique.
Eveline van Stokrom, Hannick Reizens (Team Netherlands 2012)
It hard to sell Switzerland because the country has an image of being too expensive, but the Meeting Trophy did remind me of the great variety of possibilities the country has. (a lot of outdore activities, good quality hotels and restaurants, only 1,5 Hour flight from Amsterdam). With this experience it would maybe be easier to convince people that Switzerland is a great destination.
Rob Joling, Paragon Events (Team Netherlands 2012)
You can achieve quality when you are a master in quality. The Switzerland Meeting Trophy has created the answer by performing in an excellent way.
Alexandra Herbrand, imagepeople GmbH (Team Germany 2012)
Switzerland is one of a kind in many ways but this unique event once more shows what this special contry has to offer: beautiful nature, great locations, short distances and wonderful people who make it happen! Thank you very much for this 360 degree experience of Switzerland as a great MICE destination!
Jan Denecken, Jochen Schweizer Events GmbH(Team Germany 2012)
Great experience, great people, great country. We love to come back with our clients and we are sure that the service will be perfect.
Carole Michon, IKEBANA (Team France 2012)
This experience has been a great moment ! Your idea of rally is just amazing. Discovering such a beautiful region while having fun will be remembered for a long time. Too bad we cannot participate to this rally every year!! Now I know that wherever I will organize an event in Switzerland, I will be liaising with professional and reliable partners. That was the purpose of it, wasn't it ?!! THANK YOU AGAIN !!
