Location and transfers are two of the most important factors when it comes to making your business event a success. Transport often has an impact on the characteristics of the event and how many people turn up. Get-togethers that are held in distant and hard-to-reach places are not always, in this regard, the best choice. In this post, we therefore thought we would highlight the importance of having good logistics in place and detail the Costa del Sol’s proficiency when it comes to transfers and connections.
Private transfers, comfort and efficiency
Event planning is not an easy task. One area of difficulty can be the logistics of the destination chosen to host the event. Whether you are putting on a social, cultural or business event, once you’ve thought about services and venues, you need to spend due time considering logistics.
It is increasingly common for weddings, communions and business events to contract a transfer service. Transfer companies are entrusted with making sure that all the guests, staff and anyone else needing to travel to the event can easily and efficiently get to where they need to go. Let's say you are thinking about planning a team building activity in a country property in a rural destination that is hard to get to. With good logistics, and transfer services, you don't need to worry about getting participants to the venue, which is a little bit out of the way.
From coaches and private cars to limousines, transfer services for events come in all shapes and sizes. We have seen a rise in popularity in contracting transfers for events in recent years, which should come as no surprise, as the MICE and transport sectors go hand in hand, guaranteeing that everything runs as it should - with no headaches - from start to finish. Transfers for professional events additionally offer services such as food and drink in the vehicles and tourist information for the passengers.
Professionalism and means of transport
When the time comes to think about transfers for your events, make sure you consider the professionalism of the service provider. There are two different ways for you to go about contracting a private transfer service: either communicating directly with the company itself or using an intermediary, which often comes in the form of a DMC or event agency.
You won’t be short on options in the province of Malaga. Have you been wondering what the alternatives look like? Or the benefits of choosing professional and sustainable transfers? Here are some points to bear in mind:
- Transfers for events usually come in the form of private coaches, taxis and even local trains to get everyone from the main destination to other nearby destinations.
- There are also less expensive options, such as car hire.
- Another option to think about are sustainable means of transport, which some event planners and organisers are offering to guests. Examples of this include bikes and electric scooters, which are a practical way to cover short distances within a conference centre, for instance.
The Costa del Sol, a MICE destination with all the connections you need
There is no point in discussing the best transfer providers in a destination, if the destination itself is poorly connected. Once again, the Costa del Sol delivers in this regard. Not only is the area home to countless companies operating in the worlds of event planning and transport (both people and products), the province of Malaga is one of the best connected places in Europe.
In addition to the transfer services for events that you can contract, the infrastructure in the province of Malaga is well worth a mention. There are:
- Excellent road connections with the rest of Spain
- A superb railway that connects Malaga city with Madrid and Barcelona
- A wide selection of flights with direct connections to the biggest airports in Europe.
As you have seen, transfer services for events play a pivotal role in how many people attend your event and its success as a whole. As a MICE destination, the Costa del Sol is equipped with a world-class transport system that will get you and your attendees from A to B quickly and easily.
