team building days


Explanation:
This is an event/trip/day with a group of colleagues to give them a boost, a bit of extra motivation and keep them happy in their jobs, I think. I would probably go for 'team building event', 'motivational event' or 'away day' or something similar:

El objetivo de organizar eventos de incentivo en una empresa es mejorar la producción y mejorar el rendimiento de la misma. A través de esta actividad, entendida como un premio para los trabajares, se busca motivarles para que alcancen las metas marcadas por la compañía.

incentive trips


Explanation:
An educated guess based on the fact that this is aimed at business travellers. See references below.

Translation would be something along the lines of "at conferences and events, but mainly on incentive trips, there is always time to explore the Algarve."

Incentive trips overlap with team building days in that they serve to motivate employees, but can also be rewards for achieving certain milestones such as closing the most deals or being employee of the month etc. Incentive travel is often abroad, whereas team building days can be local or abroad.
