Em congressos e eventos, mas principalmente nos incentivos, sobra sempre algum tempo para conhecer um pouco da região do Algarve..

Discussion

uma viagem de incentivo pode ser individual e não necessariamente em grupo
@Monica Esperando que me desculpem a intromissão, tenho um problema com as respostas indicadas como "see below" que vão tal qual para o glossário. Não me parece que ajude quem faça futuras consultas...
Monica Merrill (asker) Apr 25, 2018:
A palavra incentivos aparece novamente: ...com a região a oferecer tudo o que é necessário para receber congressos já de alguma dimensão, incentivos e eventos de toda a ordem.
Monica Merrill (asker) Apr 25, 2018:
It is aimed at business travellers.
Ashlie Apr 25, 2018:
Who is the intended audience for this text? Is it aimed at business travellers or tourists in general?
@Monica Não consigo perceber a frase, será que aqui "incentivos" têm o mesmo significado que "atrativos"? As atrações do Algarve incentivam as pessoas a não se limitarem aos congressos e eventos...

=
Congresses and other events bring tourists to Algarve. But, most of all, it is the attractions in the region itself that are its greatest tourist draw.

Tough sentence to translate in a way that sounds entirely natural in English, but this seems to be the intented sense.

team building days

This is an event/trip/day with a group of colleagues to give them a boost, a bit of extra motivation and keep them happy in their jobs, I think. I would probably go for 'team building event', 'motivational event' or 'away day' or something similar:

El objetivo de organizar eventos de incentivo en una empresa es mejorar la producción y mejorar el rendimiento de la misma. A través de esta actividad, entendida como un premio para los trabajares, se busca motivarles para que alcancen las metas marcadas por la compañía.

(apologies for the Spanish references - I couldn't find any illustrative ones in Portuguese)
Note from asker:
That makes sense. I chose motivational event. Thank you for your help.

incentive trips

An educated guess based on the fact that this is aimed at business travellers. See references below.

Translation would be something along the lines of "at conferences and events, but mainly on incentive trips, there is always time to explore the Algarve."

Incentive trips overlap with team building days in that they serve to motivate employees, but can also be rewards for achieving certain milestones such as closing the most deals or being employee of the month etc. Incentive travel is often abroad, whereas team building days can be local or abroad.

Obrigado, Antonio!
agree T o b i a s : They appear to be discussing 'incentive travel', but I think this works better in the context.
