INCENTIVE TRAVEL
Why Use Incentives?
The Use of incentives is recognized globally as a powerful and cost effective tool in achieving corporate objectives including:
• Increased sales
• Attract referrals and new business
• Improved customer loyalty and staff retention rates
• Training and product knowledge
• Recognition of high achievers
• Boosting productivity, motivation and team spirit
Whether for staff sales incentives or customer loyalty programs, travel has proven to be the most effective form of incentive reward. Not only does it spur customers or sales team members to exceed targets and increase sales, but traveling as a group also offers unparalleled opportunities for bonding, networking and creating long-term loyalty amongst the participants. A well-organized incentive program can inspire and invigorate participants, leaving them with memories they will treasure and stories they will tell long after the thrill of other rewards has faded.
