Born on the Champs-Élysées and shaped by over a century of cultural significance, Fouquet’s has evolved into something far greater than a single address. As the Signature Collection by Barrière, it brings a distinctly Parisian spirit to a global stage—where elegance, atmosphere and human connection take centre stage. From Paris to New York, Courchevel to Saint-Barth, this is a collection that redefines what it means to truly experience a place.

Across France’s most storied coastal destinations, Barrière’s seaside properties offer a masterclass in contrast—where heritage meets modernity, energy meets calm, and every setting brings its own distinct perspective. From the Riviera to Normandy and the Atlantic coast, this is a collection shaped by atmosphere as much as location, revealing a more thoughtful approach to life by the sea.

The French coastline is not one story, but many—each shaped by its own rhythm, character and sense of place. From the energy of Cannes to the quiet refinement of Dinard, these five destinations reveal a more nuanced perspective on coastal travel. Not simply places to visit, but environments that influence how experiences unfold, and why they stay with us long after.

From floating venues to skyline-framed gala dinners, Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River offers an incredible backdrop for high-end events. We take a look at some of the key experiences, venues and creative ideas that transform the river into a luxury incentive programme.

Thailand’s latest message to the world is simple but powerful: healing is the new definition of luxury. For incentive planners, this marks a compelling shift, away from traditional reward-led programmes and towards experiences that restore energy, deepen connections and leave a lasting emotional imprint. Discover why this trend is transforming events - and how to harness it for something truly unforgettable.

Palace galas by candlelight, private tiger safaris at dawn and Himalayan retreats designed for executive reset — India delivers incentive moments few destinations can rival. We explore how the right local partner can turn this extraordinary country into a programme your guests will talk about for years.

Imagine opening a programme where the first sunrise finds your group kite-sailing across the turquoise lagoon of Dakhla, and by evening they’re enjoying a feast on a sculpted dune under a desert sky - welcome to the Land of Colour.

Nearly four decades in luxury incentives brings perspective you can’t learn from a playbook. Fresh from inVOYAGE Sri Lanka, Ulterior Events’ Graham Alderman and Fiona Thomas share the lessons, realities and quiet truths that have shaped 35 years at the top of the industry — from planning perfection to partnership, presence and longevity.
