Incentives & Retreats

"You can't drag people to a boring, ho-hum conference center and expect anything but boring, ho-hum results." Cheryl Dahle, Fast Company

Corporations are increasingly demanding results-oriented, goal-driven retreats from their organizations. Corporate retreats must inspire participants to solve real problems rather than simply entertain employees. Companies that have embraced this reality look for inspiring and unusual environments to foster creative, innovative, problem solving gatherings.

Get More with your Budget -- Some companies use an events planning company, who use a travel agent, who outsources the in-country arrangements with us. Why not go direct to the source? We have direct rates with over 100,000 hotels and services around the world – and local staff in 200 offices across 80 countries to ensure a worry-free event. On average, we can save you 20-30% over traditional event planning companies.

Less Planning Hassle -- One of the most common complaints about incentive or corporate retreats is the endless back and forth over the little details. Someone wants to go a day early, someone else needs special meals, the other person wants to substitute a round of golf for the planned rafting trip. Our web-based tools will let you breathe a sigh of relief! Your participants will each receive their own personal password and trip page, and can customize their activities as much as they want. We give every person the same level of custom care as our private guided travelers.

More Exciting Options -- You're going to have a retreat at that all-inclusive – again? What about a polar bear adventure, an African safari, a Galapagos cruise, Costa Rica jungle zip line, Borneo river cruise, Jackson Hole dude ranch, private group meal in an Egyptian tomb, caviar tasting in St. Petersburg, cooking class in Tuscany, a luxury camp in Antarctica, an estancia in Buenos Aires... You get the idea. There is a whole world out there, and it IS possible to fit it in a tight budget and a handful of days.

Incentive Trips

Top Performer Group -- We can arrange a getaway to an exciting destination as a reward for your high achievers. Let us know how much "business" you want to do and we will tailor your schedule accordingly. Our veteran team builders have a list of fun activities to help your team bond together, mixed in with local activities and special meals. Gala celebrations with stage shows, trophies, multi-media extravaganzas, and even film crews, we've done it all.

Vacation Vouchers -- Can't afford to have your top performers gone at the same time? Then try our vacation vouchers. We can structure them to be fully flexible for travel anywhere in the world, and valid for up to 2 years. Or, we can pre-plan a series of scheduled departures so your team has a chance to experience a once-in-a-lifetime vacation with their colleagues and families together.

Executive Retreats

Private Jet & Yacht -- Leverage our buying power to give your senior team a treat to remember. Weekend in St. Tropez, fishing in Miami or Key West, a float plane fishing camp in northern Canada, champagne lunch at a luxury camp in Antarctica, or private yacht charter in Galapagos. We have access to a world of excitement.

Something Completely Different -- There's nothing like being out of your element to stimulate new lines of creative thinking. Travel through Congo to see the gorillas, pygmies, and mighty Congo River with a world class explorer. Ride a BMW motorcycle with a beautiful and vivacious guide from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Take a Land Rover 4x4 driving course on a bespoke English estate. Learn to samba and enjoy invitation-only parties with a private guide at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro or Salvador. Build an igloo and helicopter across the tundra in Canada's Arctic.

Corporate Responsibility

Contests & Prizes -- We work with consumer brand marketers, charity fundraisers, and advertising firms to supply exciting trips as contest prizes. Contact us for ideas on how to add some spice to your next contest or ad campaign.

Championship Series -- Go beyond the private box at the local game. Our Championship Series gives you and your clients privileged access to events at the PGA Tour, Formula 1, Championship Tennis, Triple Crown horse racing, and more.

Olympics, World Cup & Major Events -- Our experienced staff can operate your hospitality program at world class events. From hotel blocks, local transport, hospitality real estate, branding, special events, airline ticketing, and on-site facilitation – we have the experience to deliver seamlessly.
