Business tourism, or MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events), is an important part of the travel economy. Campania has everything it needs: an international airport, high-speed rail, conference venues, hotels with meeting rooms and, above all, places that can turn a corporate event into a lasting memory. Here is an overview for organisers.
Getting there
Naples airport is connected with many Italian and European cities; Napoli Centrale and Salerno stations are served by high-speed trains, with Rome about an hour from Naples. See our page on how to get to Campania.
Destinations for meetings and events
- Naples: the largest city in southern Italy, with conference centres, business hotels on the seafront and an artistic heritage ideal for private dinners and visits.
- Salerno: convenient for high-speed rail and for reaching the Amalfi Coast and Paestum.
- Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast: grand historic hotels with conference rooms, perfect for multi-day events with a leisure programme.
- Caserta: the Royal Palace and the surrounding area offer impressive settings.
- Ischia and Capri: for exclusive incentives and small board meetings.
Incentives and team building
The region is ideal for incentive programmes that combine work and discovery: boat trips in the Gulf, private visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum, cooking and pizza classes, wine tastings in Irpinia, trekking on the Path of the Gods. These activities build teams and leave a strong memory.
Villas and historic residences for corporate events
For product launches, gala dinners and smaller events, historic villas, estates and palaces offer unique spaces, often for exclusive use. In our directory we are collecting conference venues, event locations and historic villas: find them in the Where to stay and eat section.
Tips for organisers
- Seasons: spring and autumn are ideal for weather, prices and availability.
- Transfers: on the Amalfi Coast and the islands, plan transport carefully, including by sea.
- Local suppliers: local caterers, guides, interpreters and AV services know the area well.
