ESENCIA PATAGONIA IS A FINALIST AT THE 2026 SITE CRYSTAL AWARDS

In its latest edition, the magazine highlights the world’s most transformative travel experiences, with a special feature on exploring Patagonia curated by Esencia.Patagonia. 

Esencia Patagonia, together with Abercrombie & Kent, are finalists in the category “Best Destination-Based Incentive Travel Program” at the SITE Crystal Awards, organized by SITE (Society for Incentive Travel Excellence), the only global association dedicated exclusively to incentive travel. These awards celebrate projects that not only inspire and motivate, but also deliver tangible results for corporations. Winners are chosen through a rigorous scoring system that evaluates creativity, logistics, overcoming natural challenges, and social impact.

This nomination reflects the strong network Esencia has built with its local partners, who made possible a one-of-a-kind five-day program: charter flights, hotel buyouts, ski resort and private boats, helicopters, luxury winter glamping, artistic performances, a high-impact social action, and more than 620 people involved.

“We are the first company from Patagonia to be nominated for these awards -this alone is a huge achievement worth celebrating, and we owe it to the passion and professionalism of our team and community of partners,” said Esencia Patagonia.

With a conscious luxury approach and as a Certified B Corporation, Esencia Patagonia promotes a model of regenerative tourism that integrates harmony with the natural environment, circular economy, and a triple-impact philosophy.

The winners will be announced in February 2026 during the SITE Global Conference in Abu Dhabi, the most important event in the incentive travel industry, bringing together over 3,000 members across 90 countries, including corporations, agencies, airlines, cruise companies, and the full value chain of the sector.
