Travel incentives are now common. However, despite the undoubted positives, travel to overseas destinations can be costly. Work with Power2Motivate to create a flexible program that suits everyone with domestic trips as Australia is a true travel incentive paradise.

Business travel rewards are an increasingly popular way of encouraging behaviour that benefits your company. The Incentive Foundation indicates that of companies using travel incentive programs, 53 per cent recognised high performance from their sales force, 43 per cent were used to reward employees and 33 per cent celebrated channel partners' achievements.

More holidaymakers are opting to stay and travel in Australia, with over 10.3 million choosing a domestic destination in 2016.

But for Australian businesses, deciding what locations are part of your travel incentive program is difficult. Roy Morgan Research indicates holidaymakers are increasingly opting to stay in Australia for their break, with over 10.3 million travelling internally in 2016.

It's not hard to see why - Australia has so much to offer. For a business trying to set up a flexible travel incentive program that can cater to individuals' tastes, it really is a paradise of choice.

Why does my business need a travel incentive program?

Recognising the hard work of those that excel for your business is vital - but it isn't enough to just offer a little bit more money anymore. A travel incentive program allows you to do more than just reward the positive behaviour of your sales team or another employee. It gives you the opportunity to make your business stand out as one that cares about those that go above and beyond their job description.

This will:

  • Foster greater enthusiasm to achieve better results for your business in the short term - because a trip now means more to employees than a potential raise in six months time. 

  • Demonstrate to employees and channel partners you care about them individually. 

  • Satisfy your staff and prove to them your business is the best fit long-term for their skills.

Research from the Incentive Foundation indicates 2 in every 5 U.S. businesses have recognised the potential of travel incentives to recognise positive performances by adopting a program in some form. When you decide to implement an incentive program like this however, you need to ensure you are partnering with a business that can offer the best for your hard workers.

Why is Australia a travel incentive paradise?

Using travel incentive programs, you can offer individuals the trip they want. From snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef to exploring the restaurants of Melbourne, Australia has something for everyone.

Diversity

Australia has one of the most diverse base of landscapes on the planet - it truly caters to all tastes. For the adventurous, tours of the Outback or treks through the North Queensland rainforest may suit. For those wanting a city break, bustling Sydney awaits. Choice is key to a program that appeals to everyone, so Power2Motivate help by tailoring a travel incentive package to your needs.

Flexible and easy

Based on Roy Morgan Research, it seems many are opting for the convenience of the local. Domestic travel offers three distinct advantages for the flexible holidaymaker who wants a hassle-free trip:

  • With the ease of domestic travel, incentive winners are given the opportunity for longer trips and more extensive budgets.

  • Travelling within Australia is ideal for an easy holiday. No worries about visas, overseas currency or learning a new language.

  • Generally, Australia has low levels of crime, making it a safe option for a holiday destination.

A travel incentive program is an excellent way of rewarding positive behavior - and Australia offers destinations that suit all tastes.
