More than a reward. A memory they'll carry for life.
Incentive travel is one of the most powerful motivational tools available to a business. It takes the concept of reward beyond the tangible and replaces it with something money genuinely can't buy: an extraordinary shared experience.
Whether it's a private safari in Kenya, a culinary journey through Japan, a sailing adventure in Croatia, or an immersive long weekend in New Zealand, incentive travel creates an emotional connection between your brand and your best customers, partners or performers.
At EVT, incentive travel is in our DNA. We've been curating exceptional journeys for Australian and New Zealand businesses for decades, and our global partner network means every itinerary is rich with access, value, and unforgettable moments.
The best people have options. Give them a reason to stay and strive.
Travel is the ultimate reward, and the businesses that use it understand something their competitors don't. An extraordinary experience doesn't just recognise your best customers and partners. It transforms the relationship.
Shared journeys create memories that last long after the trip ends, building the kind of genuine connection that drives lasting loyalty.
Every detail considered. Every moment memorable.
Incentive travel is not corporate travel with a different name. It is an entirely different discipline, and EVT has spent decades perfecting it.
We begin by understanding your audience: your top customers, your key partners, and what an extraordinary experience genuinely looks like to them. From there, our in-house travel specialists design the full journey, from destination strategy and flights to curated experiences, on-ground logistics, gifting, hospitality and post-trip storytelling.
Participant communications matter here too. We build anticipation before departure with communications that help qualifiers understand what they are working toward and make the experience feel valuable long before they travel.
Our global partner network and negotiation expertise mean we guarantee 25% extra value on every client travel budget.

Incentive travel is the use of extraordinary travel experiences as a reward for top-performing customers, partners, or sales teams. Unlike merchandise or cash rewards, travel creates shared memories and emotional connections that drive lasting loyalty. It is widely regarded as the most powerful motivational reward available, and the most aspirational qualifier in any incentive program.
Most EVT incentive travel programs are created for clients' customers and partners, not internal staff. Businesses use travel incentives to deepen relationships with their most valuable customers, reward their top-performing channel partners, and create shared experiences that build long-term commercial loyalty. Travel is the ultimate relationship builder, and the time spent together away from the day-to-day is invaluable.
Through four decades of building deep relationships with hotels, airlines, destination management companies, and experience operators around the world, EVT is able to negotiate access and pricing that simply isn't available to businesses booking travel directly or through general travel agents. That network, combined with our expert negotiation, consistently delivers a guaranteed minimum 25% more value from every client travel budget.
Virtually anywhere in the world. EVT has curated incentive travel experiences across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Pacific, and beyond. We work with you to choose a destination that will genuinely excite your audience, and then we handle every detail from the first itinerary to the last transfer.
For international programs, we recommend a minimum of six months lead time, and twelve months or more for larger groups or high-demand destinations. This ensures the best access to venues, experiences, and accommodation, and gives your participants enough time to qualify and build genuine aspiration around the trip.
