Team building activities for incentive and groups in Sicily
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you expect to reinforce and to motivate the leadership, to create the team spirit with an incentive travel, you have found what you are looking for! Only experiences and high level performances can transform your incentive travel in an unforgettable special event."
The team building is an instrument for corporate business to improve the feeling of reciprocate trust, especially in changing, transformation and reorganization time. It can encourage and develop specific and effective modalities of participation to team work, promoting fast processes of integration and cooperation. If you want to engage your co-workers in a teambuilding experience, we have many activities to propose. Always dreamed about a Ferrari race or perhaps you want to learn how to dive? If you are interested in more or less demanding activities, we also offer extreme sports.
We'll make your stay in Sicily as active as you want it to be. You can experience a special afternoon aboard a yacht or a sailing boat for your personal regatta. The guests are offered an aperitif as the boat cruises along the coast, while the sun slowly sets in the Mediterranean. And when the sun has dropped behind the horizon, the ship anchors in one of the many coves accessible only from the sea. A superb dinner is served together with excellent wines. And to make the evening even more magical, musicians and folk dancers on the beach will amuse you. Or, if you prefer, a mystical evening in an old castle, a first-rate meal, fantastic wines …and mafia; we provide the action-game and the actors, you may provide the solution.

Sample 1 - The Godfather mafia dinner.
"The Godfather Mafia Dinner" is a gala dinner - show - team building, usually performed inside the location where Francis Ford Coppola shot some of the most important scenes of the saga of the Godfather. It will pull your hosts in the dark meanders of the organized crime with a lot of irony! The event is realized with true actors and performers). Don Tortellini, super boss of the Mafia, has just been victim of murder, and the several mafia clans (the so-called "Famiglie", the Families) are gathered in order to decide who will occupy his position, and of course in order to discover his murderer...Every table will represent therefore a Family, and each Family will try to pursue its own hidden purposes (make one of its members to be the new Godfather, conclude the game with much more money than they had on the start, settle a combined wedding, etc). The game will be guided by a charismatic actor/presenter, revealing periodically new clues about the identity of the murderer, introducing at the same time new cues of the game... leaving space and time, of course, for encounter between the Families, for dealing and betrayal, swindle and conspiracy. At the end of the dinner, the Family achieving the largest number of goals will be declared winner of the game. "Godfather Mafia Dinner" is also available in deluxe version, comprising projections of the testament video of Don Tortellini, the videos of the security camera of Don Tortellini's house, and a lot more. A note of colour and additional fun that will astonish and involve your hosts even more! The dinner is however totally adaptable to whichever requirement and can be performed in a soft version for customers who do not want to actively participate the event; moreover a theatrical interval can be performed before the beginning of dinner with some our actors, performing monologues or duets, interacting with the guests, supplying clues for the resolution of the mystery, giving an ideal recall of the atmosphere of the tour.
Sample 2 - The invisible cities.

While discovering monuments, curiosities and local legends, we will make you uncover the secret side of an entire city, giving prominence to unknown details and enlightening undervalued places. Guests will be divided in small teams. Each group will be equipped with a city map, a Polaroid instant camera, and a special booklet that the participants need to fill in with pictures certifying they have passed the tests of the treasure hunt. The invisible cities is an amusing and special way to find out the artistical and historical beauties of the places you are visiting, while giving to everyone the possibility to respect their own rhythms. The booklets (realized with the professional advice of ph.D. in History, Archaeology, Art, Architecture), and the entire treasure hunt, could be personalized to suit the will and communication needs of the customer.

There will be a short break for lunch, and then adrenalin will quickly rise, thanks to the extraordinary show offered by our pilots in their frantic super show.

Dear BlueStone. Let me take this opportunity to thank you and your Agency for the assistance extended during recent event organized in Taormina, Sicily. Please allow me as well to comment and give some more details related to the above mentioned event. SKILLS, the company in charge of the event, is a well known organizer of the Team Building activities and for a while already a leader on the local market.
Our latest assignment was to organize and conduct a 3 days Team Building for the Top Management of the Serbian largest company, namely DELTA M. We would like to express our satisfaction and gratitude to the Blue Stone Agency for the professionalism, skills and attitude shown during these three days in Sicily. Blue Stone certainly excels in communication and organizational skills, respecting of deadlines, agreed activities and the budget.
However, the skills BlueStone Tourism Services should be particularly proud of is their flexibility. When the previously agreed program was changed by our clients, BlueStone Tourism Services representatives reacted in a calm and relaxed, yet reliable and timely manner. They quickly adapted to new circumstances and made sure the whole story had a happy ending.
Thank you once again for all your efforts and assistance in organizing and successfully running this event. We have no hesitation in recommending your agency services to any individual or company needing similar assistance. Hoping to working with you again in the near future,
