Incentive Travel
Incentive Travel
Our top priorities have always been to help companies plan seamless and safe incentive travel, at value that can't be beat. However, now with COVID-19 creating so much uncertainty and hindrance to travel, booking incentive travel with a professional has become a virtual must. Cruise Planners works closely with our travel partners to provide clients with expert, up-to-date advice so travel can be booked with confidence.
What are other companies doing regarding incentive travel?
According to the Incentive Research Foundation's June 2020 Pulse Survey, 53% of companies are continuing their incentive travel program either as-planned or by postponing until a future date due to COVID-19. The IRF goes on to state that "65% of respondents indicated their programs continue to be viewed as strategically relevant by senior management. This could be the result of the need to maintain top performers, attract talent in front-line organizations, or help shift the focus of the organization to new strategic priorities in the wake of COVID-19."
If your company is one of the 53% that are continuing or postponing your incentive travel program, we can help.
How can we help with incentive travel?
We are helping our clients re-book their events to safe destinations within driving distance, or that involve short flights. We only book with travel providers that follow the World Travel & Tourism Council’s new safety and hygiene standards,and we handle all the vendor negotiation and communication. Affording our clients peace of mind that they will be safe and no details are being overlooked.
We specialize in helping small businesses because they typically don't have an internal travel planner, or the time it takes to pull off a seamless event, at wholesale pricing, with measurable hard and soft ROI. In addition, our services are typically free to our clients. We are paid commission from the travel providers. So, our clients get access to a travel professional that plans these events for a living, at no cost.
We invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss how your business is managing its incentive travel program during COVID-19. Schedule a call here.
How are we uniquely qualified to help with incentive travel?
Prior to launching his Cruise Planners travel agency, Franchise Owner Kevin Flink, worked in Human Resources for almost 10 years for technology and consulting companies. The competition for the best employees was highly competitive and earning "Best Place to Work" awards was expected. Kevin has helped companies attract, engage, and retain top employees through successful programs like incentive travel. Now, he combines his expertise in Human Resources, with his travel agency experience planning resort, land, and cruise vacations to every continent, and exclusive access to wholesale inventory and travel discounts, to help companies build travel experiences that reward their top employees for making a difference in their company, and reward employers with measurable hard and soft ROI. We believe there is no other reward that can change a life, and a business, as much as incentive travel. See what our clients and the industry is saying about us!
