While it’s considered poor etiquette to “show off ” or brag about a cash bonus or a raise, it’s perfectly acceptable to flaunt photos from your corporate incentive travel trip to Tahiti where you snorkeled with the CEO. For your repeat performers, just thinking of travel business incentives is enough to inspire them to set their goals and then imagine relaxing on a beach, spending an afternoon at the golf course, taking one last run down the slopes or enjoying some time at the spa. These images can be the force that makes incentive group travel programs so effective, if the trip you've designed is personally meaningful and appealing to them.
