TEN TRAVEL
DMC
With more than three decades of experience, Ten
Travel DMC is one of the most established names
in the Canary Islands’ MICE scene – and one of the
few that stayed rooted in Tenerife’s north.
A family-run business, Ten Travel combines the
flexibility of a boutique agency with the expertise
of a destination heavyweight. Alongside its
incentive and corporate business, the company
also manages cruise shore excursions for major
lines including P&O.
Client projects have included a 120-person
incentive for lastminute.com, featuring beach
team building, trekking in the national park, and
a gala dinner in a converted banana plantation
mansion.

“The north of the island is ideal for groups of 50 to
150 people. We’re seeing fewer pure conferences
or pure incentives now. Most programmes are
hybrid, blending morning meetings with afternoon
incentive activities such as trekking, kayaking or
mountain biking, which is the perfect fit for this
region,” says Ten Travel managing director Marcos
Albornoz van Aken.
He believes the north’s appeal lies in its
character and creativity, which can be seen
across its diverse portfolio of venues. Beyond
those showcased during X: by micebook, the
region boasts historic Canarian mansions and a
reconverted convent in Garachico, which Marcos
describes as “sensational.” The team has also
used the Auditorio de Tenerife in Santa Cruz – an
opera house that’s perfect for outdoor dining
followed by a concert inside. “The acoustics are
incredible – it’s a fantastic venue.”
