A company’s ability to create the right incentive, conference or meeting venue to inspire, motivate and reward its people has immeasurable value. Even if you can’t afford to whisk your top performers away to Europe on a private jet, you can still reward your employees with incentive travel that they can enjoy.
An employee incentive getaway generally lasts from three nights to a full week, but weekend getaways can also work for smaller budgets. Accommodation could be at a bed and breakfast. Don’t feel like being in the city? Here are our top local incentives outside the hustle and bustle.
1. Train trips can be a great reward for groups and feel wonderfully indulgent. The Blue Train provides an unforgettable experience that is all about the journey. Every guest is treated as royalty and indulged to the point of complete contentment. A rich history of military service, refurbishments and modernisation contributes to the distinguished character of this train. The Blue Train is the epitome of luxurious modern travel with breathtaking views of Southern Africa’s landmarks with exceptional service.
2. George and Knysna are a winning combination with many exciting facilities and activities on offer. There are also a number of acclaimed, five-star resorts and, of course, a great coastline and golf courses. Meetings particularly loves Fancourt Hotel. Recognised both locally and internationally for its three award-winning golf courses and extensive leisure facilities, ‘leading meeting and incentive destination’ is yet another proficiency to add to Fancourt Hotel’s repertoire of expertise.
3. Itaga Lodge is located in the greater Mabalingwe Nature Reserve – a malaria-free area of Limpopo and home to the Big Five. Itaga has earned a proud reputation as an exclusive but affordable luxury lodging establishment, offering eight, tasteful, en-suite African-themed chalets. The rooms have private pergola-covered patios. Most rooms also feature a screened outdoor bush shower for that exhilarating ‘out of Africa’ experience.
