Since 1996, 212F has created aspirational travel incentives, turning clients’ dreams into reality. Whether as the rewards of a B2B loyalty, incentive, and reward programs Australia and New Zealand-wide or stand-alone exclusive event our events team has been wowing guests.

They know how to take travel aspirations and turn them into the “money can’t buy” experiences everyone wants. So over those years what are some of the coolest events and destinations we have delivered incentive travel programs in? Well, grab your virtual passport, because we asked our 212F Events and Travel Incentives managers for their top 5 incentive travel destinations.

Adam Leslie – General Manager, NZ

Throughout my 21 year career, I’ve managed more than 500 corporate events both domestically and internationally across 15 different countries, and what I truly value are the relationships I’ve made along the way. It’s all about loyalty, so if you’re a good operator, people will always want to do business with you.  

Today my passion is event strategy and educational incentives, which through a more focused approach at an executive level, generate far greater engagement and ROI than a traditional reward based incentive program.

Jo Strachan – Director of Travel and Events, AU

My career over 17 years has come full circle from starting in B2B Incentive and Reward Programs, to corporate incentive programs, event travel management, and conference management and returning to set the strategic direction for travel and events.

On my career journey I have gained knowledge across internal operations of incentive and rewards program providers, small agency providers and large corporate companies. My expertise is a deep understanding of the strategies, different product offerings, business needs, best processes and commercial viability.

Malta, Europe: Sunsoaked Ocean Paradise

Malta truly has it all – rich history, stunning landscapes, mouthwatering cuisine and warm hospitality. It became apparent that Malta is quite an undiscovered Mediterranean gem that we think is great value for incentive programs looking for a European destination that is not as crowded or expensive as the likes of Italy, France and other popular European destinations. We think it’s a winner and will be a popular option for a number of future groups!

Our recommendation is the majestical Westin Dragonara hotel and we cannot fault their incredible service and offer. It is a true incentive destination hotel that has been recently renovated and in a great location within walking distance to great restaurants and night life in Malta. Not to mention that all rooms have incredible sea views!

Perth, Australia: A Rare Encounter with Whale Sharks

Nestled in Western Australia, Perth offers a distinctive incentive trip, highlighted by a rare opportunity to go scuba diving with some of the titans of the ocean. Beyond this captivating experience, the city’s captivating charm, urban elegance, and natural allure beckon travelers to explore its treasures. From historic landmarks to modern retreats, Perth offers a diverse range of experiences.

A short boat ride from the Ningaloo Reef, tourist groups have the chance to get up close and personal with whale sharks, the gentle giant of the ocean among the fresh air and coral reefs. And if the ocean isn’t your vibe, check out any of the many pubs for some of the local culture – it’s no secret to Aussies that our beer is a cultural experience!

Turkey, Middle East: Historical Memorable Journey

Turkey offers an array of exciting experiences for incentive groups. Begin in Istanbul, where you can explore historic sites like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. Cappadocia offers surreal hot air balloon rides and unique landscapes. Pamukkale’s thermal springs and Hierapolis provide relaxation and archaeology. Enjoy a Bosphorus cruise in Istanbul and savor Turkish cuisine through cooking classes and food tours. Turkey promises a diverse and memorable journey for incentive groups.

New York, USA: Embracing Urban Energy and Iconic Sites

New York’s magnetic allure as a top incentive travel destination is undeniable. The capital city of the world offers a bustling blend of culture, history, and modernity. Explore iconic landmarks, partake in exclusive experiences, and immerse yourself in the vibrant energy that defines the city that never sleeps.

With such a busy city, it’s hard to nail down just one thing to highlight as worth doing – so why not see everything with a Manhattan helicopter tour? Enjoy a bird’s eye perspective of NYC on a narrated chopper tour as you cruise over the iconic skyscrapers, come face to face with the Statue of Liberty, and head uptown past Central Park. We’ve also recently done a CSR program with a tour through the Bronx led by a former NYPD officer telling stories that culminated in a charity BBQ for locals. Whatever your fancy may be, we can make it happen!

Paris, Europe: A Culmination of Elegance and Romance

Paris, a city that needs no introduction, is a timeless incentive travel destination where history and culture intertwine. The city’s charm extends to quaint town squares, magnificent architecture, and fine dining establishments. Unveil the secrets of Parisian haute couture, indulge in culinary delights, and consider blending your visit with a trip to nearby wine regions.

It’s no secret that Paris has some of the most famous attractions in the world, but we’re going to recommend a vintage car tour through the city, stopping at the Louvre for a wine tasting in the cellar under the museum, finishing with a cruise on the River Seine to fully experience the city and its renowned culture from its historic waterway.

So, no matter the path you want to take trust 212F to guide your travel incentives toward a world of captivating experiences.
