The Learning Expedition, heir and future of Incentive Travel?

For some time now, a new concept has been making inroads into the world of corporate travel and what has long been known as "business tourism": the learning expedition (Lex). CWT Meetings & Events, a world leader in event travel, is at the forefront of this development.

The concept of the learning expedition (Lex) is making inroads into the world of corporate travel. CWT Meetings & Events takes a closer look at the keys to this new trend.

What is a learning expedition (Lex)?

The approach consists of sending employees or stakeholders to meet other companies and organisations, other ecosystems, other economic, technological or human realities in order to inform yourself, enrich yourself, feed your thoughts. La learning expedition has been practised for a long time, and we've all been 'Mr Jourdain'. What is new is that it appears as a alternative to what is becoming less compatible with today's economic and social mores.

A professional moment with high added value

To acculturate, to inspire, to challenge: a learning expedition is a journey, elsewhere, to other people, not necessarily far away, but beyond the everyday horizon. It shifts perceptions and challenges certainties. It saves time by letting you benefit from what others have already developed, imagined and experienced. You don't travel as a spectator, you're there to learning from others, from oneself, from the group. To come back different from what you were when you left: more aware of differences, more open, more sensitive.

CWT Meetings & Events has recognised this profound change and developed specific expertise. Do you want to change the way you think about corporate travel? The agency can provide you with a creative and inspiring solution. What it has already designed, in particular, for leaders in mobility in the "Smart Cities just like theHeavent Award obtained in 2019 with Valrhona for a Lex involving all its stakeholders (customers, employees, local partners) in Brazil, testify to its commitment and its understanding of the change at work.

Transforming your incentive trips into learning expeditions, or including a "Lex" in your incentive trip, means enhancing the value of your guests by offering them a decisive experience from which they will return richer, more effective, closer and more united.
