A gift card is nice – but imagine the lasting memories from an amazing group trip to a tropical paradise. Think about it this way: Would you rather have your top performers buy groceries and other every-day items with a generic, impersonal gift card, or talk for years to come about the trip they earned by reaching strategically set goals with the help of an incentive travel planner?

Group incentive travel rewards participants with a uniquely memorable experience and builds relationships with your best and brightest customers, salespeople, or channel partners in a fun, social environment. It’s an ideal way to keep them motivated and working to do more. However, they can be quite the hassle to set up, that’s why we want to tell you what to expect when working with an incentive travel planner, someone who will help you along the way.

Give Them the World

Extraordinary achievements deserve exceptional awards. Incentive travel planners can help you create a program to reward your top achievers, loyal customers, or stellar employees with experiences that create positive, lasting ties to your company, product and brand. Each trip is custom designed to excite your audience.

Incentive travel planners also help you to provide your most valuable employees, customers, and channel partners with an exciting group travel experience. This is always a great way to build loyalty, strengthen relationships, and inspire the exchange of new ideas. An unforgettable incentive trip is the ultimate way to recognize the people and companies you rely on the most — and the perfect method for developing positive and lasting ties to your organization.

Meeting Your Goals, Maintaining Your Budget

A good incentive travel planner will take the time to understand your company’s unique business objectives so that they can recommend the right experience for your target audience. Your incentive travel provider should have longstanding relationships within the travel industry so that they are better able to broker great deals with hotels, airlines, and other suppliers all over the world.

With You Every Step of the Way

Once your incentive travel planner helps you identify a destination and budget, the detailed planning will begin. How does a private tour of the Vatican sound? Or an evening event at a European castle? Or a journey through the Panama Canal? These unique touches can transform travel into extraordinary experiences — and transform your customers into lifelong partners.

A unique group travel program offers incredible travel experiences, which can be customized for every client and budget, and specifically tailored to your company’s goals.
