Iceland: An Incentive Travel Destination

/in

Many travel incentive companies are under the impression that most people want to embark on tropical island destinations when they decide to go on vacation. However, what is becoming more popular are destinations that offer mountainous terrain, snow, and awesome winter adventures. We at Incentive Travel Solutions understands that each individual wishes for something different and unique when they travel, which is why we make sure to provide numerous location destinations through our incentive travel programs—beaches, mountains, countryside—almost everyplace you would ever want to visit on the globe. One of our truly remarkable and unique travel locations is Iceland, Europe.

Although many people probably could not point out Iceland on a map, or tell you a single historical fact regarding the beautiful country, once you have traveled their, we guarantee you will never forget it. Iceland offers so much to the outdoor adventurer, including mountain biking, whale watching, both rock climbing and ice climbing (ever climbed a glacier before?), white water rafting, as well as so many other exciting adventures. Iceland has the unique benefit of providing winter snow excursions as well as activities you would enjoy in the spring, which is why it is appropriate to ask if you want to get around by automobile or snow mobile.

A popular hobby in Iceland, and what the country’s denizens often routinely enjoy is bathing in one of several geothermal heated pools or hot springs located throughout the countryside—a lifestyle for many of Iceland’s citizens. When searching for hot springs across the countryside, you will most likely come across geysers—an uncommon occurrence stateside—as wells as breathtaking waterfalls. Also, even though it is not considered a tropical location, Iceland is an island country, meaning you can find beaches to relax, “set a spell,” and soak in the sensational view—which includes world famous sunrises and sunsets.

Before you get to thinking that Iceland, Europe is only for the outdoor adventurer at heart, Reykjavik, which is the country’s capital and largest city, is quite sophisticated and cosmopolitan. The capital boasts an incredible nightlife, with impressive dining and locations for social gatherings. Because the country is rich in history, having been first settled by Norsemen (Nordic peoples), Visitors should find time to enjoy the impressive museums that expound on the Icelandic culture, which everyone finds interesting and appealing due to the Viking mystique.

Because of Iceland’s fast growing popularity, incentive travel companies not offering the opportunity to travel to this country are simply “behind the eight ball.” One of the many reasons why our incentive travel company is one of the most successful and popular is because we offer unique and trending vacation spots, such as Iceland. For those who love the outdoors, traveling to Iceland is necessary. For those who enjoy cities that offer numerous landmarks and places that present the culture of the land, you will be surprised how much fun and interesting the cities in Iceland are.

Iguassu Falls: An Incentive Travel Destination

/in

When a natural landmark appears on the list of the “Seven Natural Wonders” of a continent, then you know it must be impressive and a sight to behold. You know a waterfall must be incredible when, on seeing Iguassu Falls for the first time, former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt exclaimed “Poor Niagara!” Such is the case for Iguassu Falls in Argentina/Brazil, which indeed makes the list for the Seven Natural Wonders of South America. The falls is broken up into two hundred and seventy-five waterfalls over a one in two-thirds mile stretch. Because the waterfall is split into numerous, separate falls, Victoria Falls in Southern Africa is considered the largest fall in the world. However, not having the disputable distinction as the world’s largest waterfall does not make the Iguassu any less impressive.

Because Iguassu Falls makes for an unbelievable sight and is accessible to visitors, an incentive travel firm would be remiss not to include this destination as a travel incentive to companies looking to incentivize their employees. It is the duty of an incentive travel firm to provide availability to even the most remote places in the world, especially if the location offers a wondrous landmark that should be seen at least once in a person’s lifetime. Worthy of note, visiting Iguassu Falls places you in a tropical locale, in between Argentina and Brazil, with both countries offering their own flare and extravagance in case you decide to pursue traveling through parts of South America, since you are already there. We at Incentive Travel Solutions would be more than happy to provide detailed information regarding the two countries in the event that you wish to see them while embarking on a journey through South America.

The above statement should not take away from the aesthetic bounty Iguassu Falls offers to the adventure seeker. Taking into account the hiking trails, sights, guided tours, and resorts and spas near the waterfall, there is more than enough to do and enjoy for an extended vacation. People who have seen the falls describe is as nature’s most accommodating spectacle, meaning you could wake up every morning and go to bed every night with the Iguassu as the first and last thing you see every day, and still continue to be in awe of its magnificence every day of your life.

The only way to understand how truly breathtaking the Iguassu is, you must experience it for yourself. Simply looking at pictures and videos of the water falls should provide more than enough inspiration to do whatever is necessary to make sure you gaze upon its beauty in person.

Hawaii, USA: An Incentive Travel Destination

/in

With so many tropical destinations around the world one could go visit and enjoy, one of the most popular tropical locales is a part of the United States of America. Hawaii has become such a popular beach vacation destination that many United States citizens are clamoring to make the wonderful island (or it should be said islands) a permanent residence. Hawaii, an archipelago, is made up of several islands, all of which are remarkable: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and the island of Hawaii—also known as the “Big Island.” Because of how popular Hawaii has become as a travel destination, and due to its lavish resorts, this archipelago can be quite expensive to visit. However, through a travel incentive company such as ours, employees who are fortunate enough to work for an employer that offers these types of remarkable bonus incentives, through hard work and dedication toward promoting and sustaining their company’s success, can receive an all-expense paid travel vacation to this lovely place.

As stated previously, each island offers its own unique and magnificent adventure. Among the myriad activities and excursions you can plan an embark upon, the most sensational include numerous aquatic adventures (surfing, kayaking, sailing, snorkeling cruises, and deep sea diving and fishing), fun trails through the islands on horseback or by jeep, helicopter rides into ancient volcanoes, and walking through the local areas and soaking  in the Polynesian and Samoan influenced culture. Hawaii also has significant history attached to it. After much deliberation and politicking, as well as lobbying for islander approval (the majority of Hawaiian natives were opposed to annexation) Hawaii was officially annexed to the United States in 1959. Before its annexation, most people know the history of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, by the Japanese. Pearl Harbor was a strategic Naval Port during that time, and when it was attacked by the Japanese, it served as the catalyst to enter the country into World War II. Today, Pearl Harbor is a terrific tourist destination, as it is home to several naval ships and Air Force aviation planes.

Each island offers a breathtaking experience, and there is so much to embark on and enjoy that repeat visits from those who have sojourned to the beautiful and wondrous archipelago is quite common. We have no doubt that you have most likely heard from friends and/or family members who have been to Hawaii how incredible their trip was; now it is your turn. To those who work for an employer who offers bonuses through a travel incentive company, work toward achieving this unbelievable offer, as we guarantee a lifetime full of memories.

Dubai, UAE: An Incentive Travel Featured Destination

/in

Today, many company bonus plans include all expense paid trips instead of monetary payouts, and employees are starting to prefer this trend. Employee vacations on company pay are an excellent way for top executives and decision makers to reward their most successful workers. When people think of vacation destinations, most consider locations in Europe with beaches, famous cities, and perhaps a mountainous terrain with a ski resort as optimal places. However, unique incentive travel plans provide destinations most people would not think of as a great spot to spend some down time. One such city that would be listed under unique incentive travel plans is Dubai, UAE (United Arab Emirates).

The initial thought of traveling to the Middle East, to some,  may seem foreboding. However, to pass on the opportunity to visit Dubai would be to miss a city that has truly become one of the most beautiful, enthralling, and impressive in the world. The city is located near the Persian Gulf, which makes for enjoyable aquatic outings, including views of the spectacular islands and coral reefs, fishing expeditions, and yachting excursions. Dubai’s architecture and construction has created some of the most breathtaking skyscrapers and high-rise buildings the world has ever seen, making the city on the most popular new cosmopolitan metropolises a person can visit.

Dubai, UAE is home to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and boasts several tall buildings that make for some of the most impressive views overlooking what is considered a beautiful and miraculously developed city. Dubai is also surrounded by the Arabian Desert, which is perfect for those who would love to travel into an expansive desert that cannot be embarked on from most regions of the world that do not have a dry enough climate to produce such terrain. Dubai has also become a business hub, not merely for the Middle East and oil company giants, but because of its embracement of Western style economic growth, the city is home to several financial corporations.

Do not let the fear of a contentious territory prevent you from experiencing a city whose business-oriented metropolis rivals any big city in the U.S., as well as the world. Worthy of mention is the culture of these great people, which is much more profound and vast than the stereotype created by a few narrow-minded media outlets. The true beauty of such a historic culture and people has not been given its just due. Dubai, UAE should be placed at the forefront of a list for unique incentive travel plans that companies wish to offer their top producing employees.
