Boosting morale with incentive travel

Boosting morale with incentive travel can be a great way to show employees how much the company appreciates their hard work and dedication, especially after the global pandemic.  

But, before flying out to an exotic destination, there are a few things to keep in mind: 

  • choosing a destination that will appeal to most employees is fundamental. So, pick a location that will be enjoyable for everyone involved! 
  • Every detail and travel arrangement will have to be carefully organised. And with the Black Book team, you can rest assured that everything will be taken care of. 
  • For many, this may be their first trip after a long time, so it is essential to recreate a safe and harmonious environment and inform all attendees of any specific regulations. 
  • People are now looking for authentic and immersive experiences. So, plan meaningful activities, through which attendees will have the opportunity to connect with the local communities and traditions. 

If you are considering using this type of travel to boost workplace morale, keep the above tips in mind to ensure a successful trip. 

There is no better incentive than travel

While some may argue that being rewarded with money is better than incentive travel, there are several reasons why incentive trips are considered a superior form of reward and recognition.  

Travelling and having the opportunity to take a break from the daily office routine, and share a once-in-a-lifetime experience with colleagues, is a far more compelling motivator for employees than cash or any other merchandise.
Incentive travel, whether a city break or a trip to a dreamy exotic destination, allows both employees to experience something new and exciting, thus, memorable, and companies to value and appreciate their contributions and dedication. 

How an incentive trip can increase productivity

Incentive travel can be a terrific way to increase productivity and loyalty within a company. It can help employees feel appreciated and motivated, and it can also help them build relationships with each other. 

Therefore, by taking the time to plan and implement an incentive trip programme, you can see a significant increase in employee productivity.  

Taking a break from the everyday routine and the office while sharing one-of-a-kind experiences with colleagues and friends can boost morale and motivate the team.  

According to research, incentive travel is also an excellent tool to encourage ‘non-qualifiers’ to want to qualify for the next trip, therefore, work harder and increase productivity.

Building solid relationships through incentive travel

After two years of travel restrictions and working from home, companies are now investing increasingly in these types of incentives, and it is not surprising why.  

Incentive trips offer a unique opportunity for employees to bond with each other and build team morale. And with the bonus of being able to do it in an exotic location, it is no wonder why they are becoming so popular.  

Incentive trips are a fantastic way to get out of the office and explore new places while building relationships with colleagues, especially when the team is normally located in various parts of the world. By investing in incentive travel, a company is committing to recreate or reinforce a positive workplace culture and a sense of employee engagement that can boost morale. 

In addition, incentive travel can help to improve internal communication. By bringing employees together in a new and different environment, they have the opportunity to get to know each other better and build strong relationships. This can lead to improved communication and collaboration back at work. 


When incentive travel is adequately planned, it can be an extremely effective tool for businesses of all sizes.
