The seminar “World’s Top 10 Experiences” took place during the meetings industry exhibition EIBTM 2009 in Barcelona. The attendees were addressed by the editor of the magazine C&IT Yasmin Arrigo, who presented a survey of the best rated experiences in 2009 conducted by this magazine, EIBTM and the Greater Houston Convention & Visitors Bureau. Based on the votes of Europe’s leading meetings, incentives and events buyers, the most interesting experiences were discussed at the seminar and the attendees had the opportunity to present or propose other unique programmes. The top ten experiences include: Horse-whispering, Hot-air ballooning over Arizona, Marlin-fishing off the coast of Mexico, The Beetlejuice show experience at Universal Studios, The Suri Palace banquet in Bali, Postojna caving in Slovenia, Dog-sledding in Quebec, Joining the carnival in Salvador, Brazil, Dinner in the Palace of Nizam and DJ experience at The Ministry of Sound.

During the discussion, we mentioned the amazing experience of gold panning in Eastern Serbia, arousing interest and very good reactions from the audience.
