Detailed planning
German group spent two days in Helsinki, during which they wanted to get to know the city, eat well, and experience something unique. Elämys Group made a detailed plan, that was thoroughly adjusted with the Germans representing the group.
Two German people in charge of the trip flew to Finland three months before the trip. They got to know the hotel reserved for the group and tasted & photographed all the restaurant meals planned for the group.
” We were dealing with a typical trip to Helsinki by a foreign group. When the customers are particularly detail-oriented, it drives us to work even harder to deliver the best possible customer experience. Sure, it was a challenge to make everything happen according to plan.” Producer of the Event Karoliina Ala-Opas says.
Everything went spot on and the group headed home satisfied. The group complimented both the versatile activities of the weekend, and the delicious food.
”They really liked Helsinki”, Ala-Opas concludes.
