Your Step-by-Step Guide to Planning an Unforgettable Incentive Trip
From Setting the Budget to Selecting the Perfect Destination
Step 1: Lay the Groundwork
Start planning early. Aim for a 12 to 9-month head start to ensure a smooth and choice-rich planning process.
Determine the trip duration. Consider the length of the trip to help narrow down destination choices.
Choose your mode of transport. Consider whether to fly or drive, the distance, and whether to opt for local or international destinations. Remember, international travel requires valid passports.
Consider the weather. Decide if you prefer a trip during summer, winter, or the mild seasons of spring and fall.
Select an experience type. Knowing your team's preferences, choose between options like a Caribbean beach vacation, an adults-only cruise, an adventure trip in Costa Rica, or a custom European tour.
Set a budget. Decide on a per-person cost, considering that single occupancy might be more expensive. Discuss these details with your travel planner to maximize your budget.
Step 2: Initiate the Planning
Contact a travel advisor specializing in incentive travel. Share your vision and details with them for better assistance.
Prepare your attendee list and trip deposit (10-25% of the trip cost) to secure your group quote.
Review and finalize your options. After discussing with your company, choose the best proposal and thoroughly read the contract before signing.

Ensuring a Smooth and Enjoyable Experience for All
Step 3: Trip Preparation
Adhere to deadlines. Stay on top of all payment and other deadlines specified in the contract.
Review all travel documents. Double-check every document upon receipt. If there are any discrepancies, contact your travel consultant immediately.
Share travel confirmations. Decide whether to share one group confirmation or individual confirmations. Discuss your preference with your travel advisor for proper organization.
Prepare for departure. Ensure you're aware of and meet all destination entry requirements and restrictions.

Step 4: Enjoy Your Retreat!
Pack and embark on your journey. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, and return refreshed and energized for another successful year.
Post-Trip Feedback and Planning. After your trip, provide detailed feedback to your travel advisor. This helps them offer better suggestions for future trips.
Start planning your next retreat. Early planning ensures your travel advisor can prepare an equally impressive experience next time.
