What is incentive travel and why does it work

"Incentive travel is a performance-based reward — a program that motivates employees, partners or dealers to achieve specific business goals by offering extraordinary travel experiences as the prize. It works because experiential rewards create emotional connections and lasting memories that cash bonuses simply cannot replicate. Research consistently shows that incentive travel produces higher performance uplift, stronger loyalty and longer-lasting motivation than any other reward type. The most effective incentive programs are built around extraordinary destinations, exclusive experiences and flawless local delivery — which is exactly what Body and Soul International's DMC network provides.

How does Body and Soul International help incentive travel planners?

Body and Soul International connects incentive travel planners with 70+ hand-selected, quality-assured DMC partners across 110+ destinations worldwide — completely free of charge. We match your brief to the right local partner, facilitate the proposal process and support you throughout the program planning and delivery. Our DMC partners bring exclusive venue access, local expertise and creative program design that no international agency can replicate. We have been connecting incentive planners with the world's finest DMC partners since 2000

How do I find the right DMC for my incentive program

Use our DMC search tool to find the right partner by destination or region — or contact our team directly. Jaapjan, Gill, Manuel and Leandro will personally recommend the right DMC partner for your specific brief, destination and client profile and connect you immediately. Every recommendation is based on 25 years of network knowledge and personal relationships with every DMC in our network. Our service is completely free of charge

What types of incentive programs can Body and Soul International DMCs deliver?

Our DMC partners deliver the full spectrum of incentive travel — from intimate 20-person executive reward programs to large-scale incentive trips of 1,000+ delegates. Program types include reward and recognition travel, dealer incentive programs, employee performance incentives, top performer trips, channel partner incentives and VIP client entertainment. Every program is built from scratch around your client's specific objectives, audience and budget — never templated, never recycled

Which destinations work best for incentive travel?

The best incentive destination is the one that genuinely surprises and captivates your specific audience — which is why local DMC expertise matters so much. Among our most consistently successful incentive destinations are Norway for adventure and natural drama, Portugal for culture and authenticity, Argentina for passion and extraordinary experiences, Amsterdam for exclusivity and cultural richness, Miami for glamour and energy, Marrakech for sensory richness and Morocco's extraordinary hospitality, and emerging destinations like West Africa and Central Asia for groups who want something genuinely unexpected

How much does it cost to use Body and Soul International for incentive travel?

Our service is completely free of charge for incentive travel planners. Body and Soul International is funded by our DMC network partners — not by the agents and planners who use us. There are no hidden fees, no commissions charged to you and no obligations.

How quickly can I get a proposal for an incentive program?

Our DMC partners are committed to responding to all incentive proposals within 24 hours. When you submit a brief through Body and Soul International, it goes directly to the relevant DMC partner who will respond personally — not through an automated system — with creative ideas, initial program concepts and a budget framework. For complex multi-destination incentive programs, allow 48-72 hours to a week for a comprehensive creative proposal. It depens on the suppliers as well. Contact our team directly for urgent briefs and we will prioritise your request immediately
