INSPIRE YOUR CREW
Looking for a way to reward your valuable employees or host
a memorable team building experience? With miles of breath-
taking coastal scenery, gorgeous inland vistas, and attentive
hospitality staff, Maine is an ideal incentive destination.
Adventure in Maine
The Western Lakes and Mountains region offers superb Alpine
skiing, snowmobiling and rafting, while most other outdoor
activities are easily accessible in Greater Portland. You can
canoe through the state’s largest salt marsh in Scarborough or
take in a panoramic view of brilliant foliage on a fall hike up
Bradbury Mountain in Pownal. Maine Audubon sanctuaries
in Portland, Falmouth and Freeport are the ideal place for bird
watchers to roam, while golfers will find excellent links, both
inland and oceanside.
Biking and kayaking with experienced guides are two of the
most popular outdoor activities that can be done as a group.
Or you can don rubber gloves and haul traps with a Maine
lobsterman. Elegant schooners will sail your party down the
bay for a close-up view of forts and lighthouses. Try ice-fishing
or whale-watching, or let L.L.Bean’s Outdoor Discovery Schools
introduce you to archery, paddle-boarding, fly-fishing, or a host
of other exciting activities.
MIX IT UP
Since Maine is one of the nation’s great outdoor playgrounds,
you may want to combine your business meeting or convention
with an exhilarating recreational outing. Or let your delegates
discover their own adventure; just knowing what’s available to
them is likely to make them more eager to attend your event.
“ There’s a lot of flavor in Portland that I think
most people don’t know about. Our schedule
has Chicago, Indianapolis, Los Angeles—
a lot of big name cities—but we’re really
excited we added Portland. We 100% want
to come back.”
