Sonoma Provides Unique Stops for an Incentive Travel Trip

January 26, 2016/in Incentive Trip

Some wine vineyards are like luxury cars; they promise the experience of luxury, but there isn’t much luxuriousness to be found. As wine vineyards go, Buena Vista Winery in California is the exception. Founded in 1857 by Agoston Haraszthy, and located adjacent to the San Francisco Bay, Buena Vista Winery has been one of California’s premier wineries for over a century. It is also a great destination for an inventive travel trip for your company’s hard working employees.

Sprawling Vineyards
The winery’s sprawling vineyards whose vines hang heavy with plump grapes are almost as pleasing to experience as the wine they produce. Impeccably maintained, the vineyards feature great weather that is both balmy and cool from the gentle winds that blow from San Francisco Bay. This makes them a great sight seeing location for wine lovers, who would like to get an up close look at how vineyards actually grow, as distinguished from fields that hold other crops.

Superior Reds and Whites
Some vineyards specialize in harvesting grapes for red wines that are preferred in the cool season, while other vineyards primarily emphasize in growing white grapes to create summer wines. Buena Vista Winery has a holistic focus to winemaking that includes producing some of the best red wines and white wines found in California and beyond. When it is time to order libations, try glasses of the winery’s delicious Caneros Chardonnay and Caneros Pinot Noir.

First Class Service
Fine wine is synonymous with luxury and leisure, but some wineries fail to offer much of either. As the Sonoma area’s longest-lived, premier winery, Buena Vista Winery has over 150 years of experience in defining a first-class wine experience. Offering the best service begins with producing the best wines and extends into the wine tasting area, where customers are vigilantly attended to like they are first-class guests, because that is precisely what they are.

Incentive Travel Programs: Get in the Game

June 3, 2015/in Incentive Travel Program, Incentive Trip

Mark Twain once said that “golf is a good walk spoiled.” For many companies, nothing could be further from the truth. We’ve all heard about lucrative business deals being secured while playing 18 holes of golf, but the game of golf can be more than just a catalyst for business transactions. In the form of a performance-based golf trip, it can also serve as a major incentive for a company’s workers to perform at the highest level, but let’s not put the cart before the horse.

Before you offer an incentive-based trip, you need to know how much it would cost based on the type of experience you want to offer. Once you know this, you can set accurate business goals in terms of who qualifies to take the trip. You also need to know that your travel plans are secure, and will transpire as expected. Otherwise, you risk offering a trip that doesn’t live up to employees’ expectations and dampens the thought of taking incentive-based trips in the future.

Let Us Get You in the Game
At Incentive Travel Solutions, we specialize in helping companies and organizations plan incentive-based trips that encourage workers to bump up productivity in order to receive what could be called a reward: a relaxing trip to a wonderful location, where they can leave the work world behind for a while and bask in a reward that they helped to create. If you would like to plan an incentive-based golf trip, we can make it a reality by offering the following services.

?   Destination selection
?   Airline contract negotiation
?   Assistance from professional and experienced onsite travel staff

For decision makers at many companies, planning an incentive-based golf trip is a stressful, time consuming affair that takes them away from performing core business functions, and thus diminishes productivity. At Incentive Travel Solutions, we take the stress out of planning a golf trip by performing the services above to ensure that you plan a trip that is enjoyable for all, and doesn’t stretch your company’s travel budget out of shape for the remainder of the year.

In all of our dealings on your behalf, minimizing costs while creating an unforgettable trip is the primary goal.

Consider Incentive Trips to Motivate Employees

November 8, 2013/in Incentive Trip

Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked, undervalued, and ignored ingredients to maintaining a successful workplace is an employer taking measures to assure employees that their hard work is not going unnoticed, and to ensure those employees maintain a significant level of happiness and satisfaction on the workplace. It would be a good wager to bet that most of you reading this can relate to having more negative feelings toward your current and / or former employer than positive. This notion is sometimes hard to comprehend, as one would rightfully assume that an employer, or highly ranked business executive would know how to lead and motivate people, otherwise how did that person obtain his or her current position?

A company is only as successful as the employees working to maintain its level of operation and functionality. If the morale and motivation of employees begins to sag, the company will falter. This described possible scenario is exactly why business owners and employers need to consider incentive trips to motivate employees. Incentive trips have proven to boost morale and employee motivation, from the experience of an all expenses paid vacation destination to a unique and exotic locale that is unlike any other. For the employee, it is a chance to relax, unwind, and experience fun, excitement, and adventure that cannot be found from the doldrums of home life or the enjoyable, yet mundane and repetitive, long weekend getaways only a couple of hours away.

Most employees who have been questioned whether they prefer an incentive trip to a bonus check have often answered that an incentive trip would be more valued. If this is indeed the case, as an employer or business owner, is the level of motivation your employees have not reason enough to consider incentive trips to boost employee motivation? The other aspect to consider is the long term value the event brings. Employees will create memories that will be shared & discussed around the office for years to come. The “company trip” will become a legend around the office, not just because of the unique location, but because of the fun events, activities & memories that are created. It will encourage and inspire workers to reach their goals so they don’t miss out on the fun. It can create that team building atmosphere that all successful businesses have and the best part is that this can be accomplished with little to no risk to a marketing budget. If employees are meeting their goals to qualify for the trip, then your business is experiencing increasing sales enabling your company to be able to pay for the trip. The math is simple.

Getting started is easy. Incentive Travel Solutions can help you make the best decisions and give you the blue print for a successful incentive travel trip.
