As a travel incentive, you can set up a system that awards your sales force and other professionals with free or discount airline tickets. For sales professionals, establish a monthly sales quota that your team has to meet to get the free or discount tickets. For meeting the quota, you can award them an airline ticket that is equal to 10 percent or more of their total monthly sales. The airline tickets can also be discounted for a certain percentage, such as 50 percent off the regular price. Other professionals, such as call-center representatives or secretaries, can receive airline tickets as incentives to arriving to work on time, providing excellent customer service and meeting deadlines for reports or presentations.
Hotel incentives can include perks and upgrades that make someone's lodging experience while traveling more enjoyable. A free night at a hotel can be a travel incentive for an employee. A free room upgrade can also be another travel incentive. However, hotel incentives do not have to only be centered around the rooms. If the hotel is equipped with a restaurant, a hotel travel incentive can be a free or discounted meal. Other incentives at a hotel can be free spa services, if the hotel is equipped with one, free valet parking and free laundry services.
You can provide an employee a free rental car as a travel incentive. You can also upgrade them to a larger rental car, taking them from a subcompact, such as a Chevrolet Aveo; to a full-size vehicle, such as a Nissan Maxima. As an added bonus to a rental car travel incentive, you can award them with a gas card, so they won't have to purchase fuel themselves for the rental car. Options from the rental car company can be purchased as more travel incentives, such as full insurance coverage and a navigation system.
