New Incentive Hotels 7 for 2017

Incentive travel continues to be a top motivator for the modern workplace. Whether travel is used to motivate channel partners, employees, or customers, many businesses recognize its power to drive performance results. Oftentimes, the destination can play a huge part in whether or not the individual is engaged in the promotion. When it comes time to execute the event, our hotel partners in these destinations play a lead role in creating the luxurious experiences our attendees remember.

Also, don’t discount destination impact when planning a corporate meeting or conference. We are seeing more attendees take advantage of pre/post rates by bringing their families to spend their free time enjoying the location; a nice way to reduce spend on expensive family vacations or personal getaways.

We are especially excited for the following hotels, our Top 7 for 2017, as they are located in enticing destinations and are well-positioned for serving group business.
