Corporate Travel Destinations

A meeting planner is very aware of the different tastes and preferences that individuals have. There is always the chance that the group incentive destination will not be approved by all participants. For this reason, it is important that event planning be taken seriously and the same attention to detail given to each group event. The travel destination of choice should be carefully considered by the meeting planner and should take into account, when feasible, the preferences of attendees. If a travel destination was not well-received by the majority of attendees, then it may be wise to choose another locale or venue.

A few of the popular and well-liked incentive travel destinations are Orlando, Florida; Las Vegas, Nevada; and San Francisco, California. These locations are popular because of the excellent entertainment, attractions, and local fare available. Because the cities are popular tourist destinations, the vendors in these cities tend to cater to the needs of their guests. Feeling welcome and at-home is an important aspect of travel, and cities that thrive on tourism are typically great host cities. Even the most finicky of group incentive travel participants may enjoy trips to cities that are friendly, easily accessible, and provide a wealth of entertainment, leisure, and dining options.

Looking for a new venue for your next incentive trip?  Or maybe you would prefer a "tried and true" destination.  Here are some great ideas, presented in the Showreel Incentive Destination videos.

As an incentive destination, the city has few rivals. A trip to Stockholm is sure to fire the imagination of your staff and will be a reward they will never forget.

And that’s just the general geography. The people of Stockholm love art and the city can boast of 100 art museum and point visitors to any of their 75 museums. Even the subway system is decorated with mural and pieces of art, so much so, that the Stockholm subway has been called the world’s longest art museum.

The city nourishes more than artistic spirit; it is home to 1,500 restaurants. There’s much more to the gastronomic experience in Stockholm than smorgasbord or herring. The GQ (Gastronomic Intelligence) restaurant offers five or seven course dinners that combine the best of gourmet and healthy cuisine. If your budget is a bit more frugal and you have a yen for Italian cuisine, check out the Haga Restaurant and Deli.
