Incentive has been a separate area of business tourism, but in practice has managed to prove much more effective than, for example, cash prizes.
Money and material rewards paid for good work tend to be taken for granted nowadays, and are no longer sufficient to encourage professionals to greater achievements. A fascinating and well organised trip however, is not only an unforgettable experience, but also pays dividends well into the future and is a powerful and lasting incentive to move forward.
Organised incentives allow both partners and customers to move to a new level, to strengthen trust and build a plan for long term co-operation.
More and more managers are realising the importance of incentive tours to create and maintain loyalty to the company.
Ideas for incentive travel are infinitely varied, and are only limited by the imagination of the customer and organiser.
In addition to traditional beach and leisure trips, sports and adventure tours, with elements of extreme sports, can be organised, as well as shopping trips, training and education programmes, scenario games, gastronomic tours with tastings and master classes, environmental travelling, quests, immersion activities based on era or artwork, and more.
The main point is that the trip is imaginative and inspirational, leaving the participants with a desire to repeat the experience and make every effort to achieve this.
