Incentive Travel Trips: 6 Benefits of Corporate Travel

September 2, 2016 / in Incentive Travel

Incentive travel is an unfamiliar term to many, but specially planned incentive travel trips to amazing destinations can play an essential role in making top business performers feel adequately compensated, and motivating them to perform at a high level to qualify for the next incentive travel trip. Employers benefit from the trips for the relaxation and pleasure they offer. Employers benefit from the high level of productivity that justifies offering the exciting journeys.

Benefits for Employees and Companies

Over the past five years, studies have revealed statistics from various organizations that point to the need for incentive-based travel trips as a much needed motivational tool. Below, we look at three benefits for employers and three benefits for their employees.

1. For Employers: An Incentive Travel Planner Handles Arrangements

When we say we handle arrangements, we mean that we literally plan and oversee all aspects of the trip, from securing airline contracts, to negotiating hotel accommodations, to ensuring that enjoyable activities occur as planned, and much more. The same detail to attention also applies to the return trip.

2. For Employees: Employees Develop Camaraderie With Coworkers

Your employees may already enjoy a good sense of camaraderie; otherwise, they wouldn’t work together well enough to qualify for incentive travel. But incentive travel trips can bring them closer together, as they share rich, cultural experiences that promote friendship and not just a sense of professional respect.

3. For Employers: Dedicated Travel Staff Attend the Entire Journey

When you and your top performers embark on the amazing journey, you travel with a team of sidekicks who are your very own travel staff. The staff members attend to your wants and needs during the trip and resolve any unforeseen discrepancies in the travel itinerary. On a standard vacation, you would do this on your own. On an incentive travel trip, they are handled on your behalf.

4. For Employees: The Trip is Anything But a Common Vacation

Because incentive travel is offered to top performers, many of whom are well-compensated enough to afford their own phenomenal vacations, the key is to make the award provide a journey that has two key characteristics: a world class destination that involves activities that would impress an international diplomat on his or her initial trip to the appointment’s destination.

5. For Employers: Employees Return With a Renewed Sense of Vigor

It can be a bit of a shock going from leisurely back to the daily grind, but studies have shown that incentive travel, when employees return to work feeling recharged, not drained by the trip. Rather, it helps them return to work with a renewed sense of vitality that has a positive impact on coworker motivation and morale. Your next trip promises the same result.

6. For Employees: The Trip Is a Novel Reward Compared to Others Trips

Performance bonuses, gift raises, stock options, promotions: These are common ways that companies reward top performers. While many folks take the famous saying, incentive travel can speak even louder when it comes to rewarding success. There’s a reason we say “the best memories in life often come from the most amazing trips” create memories that last a lifetime.”
