Incentive travel is back: companies take up team building again

Incentive travel represents one of the great bastions of rewards for corporate workers due to its exceptional value. The impact is incredibly positive when it comes to fostering and building a solid team, which brings the company higher profits in the medium term.
When the pandemic arrived, companies that used incentive travel as a stimulus for employees were forced to cancel all initiatives. Now, with most of the population being vaccinated and the reopening of the most popular destinations for this type of travel, including the Canary Islands, companies are once again planning such experiences.
In recent weeks, Las Terrazas de Abama Suites hotel has seen a big jump in bookings, demand and interest from major firms in resuming their incentive travel plans, focusing not only on rewarding their most productive employees but also especially for team building programmes, given the need to motivate and foster teamwork after more than a year and a half (in many cases) of forced telework due to the pandemic.
Domingo del Campo, CEO of My Way Meaningful Hotels, explains that the large firms once again scheduling incentive travel for autumn and winter ‘ask that all of them include activities and initiatives that make it possible to build on collaborative work and boost employee motivation. In short, there is a need to hone teams after so much time apart due to telework,’ he adds.
Today, team building days and activities within different corporate incentive programmes make it possible to delve further into such aspects as structural assessment of work teams; the different character traits of each member of the group, examining their problem-solving skills; improving time management; and evaluating leadership, among other things. An unforgettable experience for employees contributes to much more fluid interaction and communication among the team throughout the year, before, during and after the trip.
Companies also particularly value commitment to and a focus on the values of sustainability by the destination and establishment they choose, a factor which now permeates the bonds between all major firms and society. According to Domingo del Campo, at Las Terrazas de Abama Suites, the concept of sustainability ‘is completely horizontal, guiding each and every one of our actions, and it is found in everything a group could need for a well-rounded experience, not only the experience itself but conveying those values’.
