At AWD Group, we specialise in crafting unforgettable incentive travel programmes that inspire performance, strengthen loyalty, and deliver measurable business impact. Far beyond simple perks, these experiences are a strategic tool for driving results.
As one of the UK’s most trusted event management companies
We partner with organisations to transform motivation into momentum – using travel as the vehicle.
1. Fuel Performance With Meaningful Rewards
The chance to earn a luxury travel experience unlocks deep motivation. Employees become more focused and performance-driven when they know their efforts are directly tied to something tangible and exciting.
Every programme we deliver is built around clear targets, smart reporting, and tailored experiences. This ensures your incentive travel programme rewards not just participation – but excellence.
2. Strengthen Team Engagement and Collaboration
Shared experiences create stronger bonds. When your team travels together, they build deeper trust, improve communication, and return with renewed synergy.
AWD Group designs trips that include collaborative challenges, immersive excursions, and group rewards – all strategically planned to foster team alignment and long-term cohesion.
3. Reduce Turnover and Boost Loyalty
Employees who feel recognised stay longer. A well-delivered incentive travel programme demonstrates investment in your people’s success and wellbeing.
We’ve seen clients reduce attrition and create brand advocates simply by making travel a recurring part of their performance culture. These trips aren’t just holidays – they’re memories that connect individuals to your business values.
4. Unlock Higher Productivity and Smarter Workflows
The anticipation of reward drives short-term effort. But done right, it also leads to long-term gains.
Participants in AWD-led programmes often show a measurable uplift in productivity during and after the campaign period. And because we align travel rewards with strategic business objectives, the performance boost continues well beyond the trip itself.
5. Attract Top Talent With a Standout Employee Value Proposition
Incentive travel is a powerful differentiator in recruitment. Today’s professionals seek purpose, culture, and recognition – not just pay. Highlighting AWD Group’s incentive travel planning services in your job offers helps you stand out in a crowded market.
From recruitment campaigns to onboarding journeys, we support clients in integrating these programmes into their employer brand – boosting talent acquisition and retention.
