The Deluxe Incentive Travel Experience is a wonderful way for a Company to reward its people for a job well done. But let’s look back, for a minute, where it all started.

Incentive Travel: definition and main purpose

The concept of “Incentive” was invented during the late 20’s in the United States, where major corporations that started massive production of consumer goods needed large teams of salespeople to acquire customers. Large companies like, Ford, General Electric and The Coca Cola Company assigned territories, set quotas and began to measure salespeople success. A strong competition in every field compelled these corporations to professionalize their employees and reward them with cash bonuses or induction into elite club. This was the beginning of the unstoppable success of this business.

Later on in the 50’s, giving an “incentive” meant to give not only cash bonuses but also extra perks such as company cars, country club memberships and private secretaries and the use of vacation homes…the latest  being one of the most wanted perks!  Here we go, with the first concept of incentive travel.

In the past 40 years, incentives of all kinds were used to attract and keep good salespeople in the same corporation. The most sophisticated electronic gifts and home appliances, child-care assistance and stock options, are a few of the ways, used to lure employees to sell more and work as hard as possible to meet their quota.

One of the most wanted and alluring perks of all times has become the concept of Deluxe Incentive Travel.

Incentive Travel: Examples

Planning incredible trips to the most wonderful destinations in the world, which involves staying in the best deluxe hotels available, has become a very popular and acclaimed way to reward your best people. These trips are planned so that the activities and all involved have an aura of “exclusivity” and hard to do on your own. This way participants know that they are in for an incredible experience that money cannot buy, a once in a life-time event to be “earned” at all costs.

As of today, it is still one of the most wanted prizes, so most companies invest a lot in having an expert team to plan their Incentive Annual Trip, with the most possible exclusivity and highlights.
The result is hundreds of Deluxe Incentive Trips, now offered in most nations and corporations, all over the world’s most exclusive destinations.
