Destination Highlights

From the glittering sapphire that is the Pacific Ocean to the vineyards of Napa to the mountains that dot the Golden State, California has something for everyone! California is the land of beautiful beaches, home to some of the best wines in the world, and a state that can boast about gorgeous year-round weather. It offers diverse venues, from large conference centers to boutique meeting spaces, and a thriving culinary scene that caters to various tastes. Additionally, California is home to numerous national parks, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities and team-building exercises. Within two hours of Southern California, you can enjoy the desert landscape of Palm Springs, hit the slopes in the mountains, or relax on world-renowned beaches like Newport or Laguna. Northern California also offers fantastic options, such as visiting Yosemite, exploring Napa Valley, or experiencing the vibrant international city of San Francisco. California's biodiversity makes for the perfect duo destination incentive trip. With a well-developed transportation system, the state is easily accessible from anywhere in the world. Major airports, including Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), San Diego International Airport (SAN), and John Wayne Airport–Orange County (SNA), provide convenient access to some of California's top destinations.
