Some people are saying that incentive travel has run its
course as an effective motivator. We believe that it
has only encountered a bump in the road and that it is
every bit as effective as it was in the past. While
terrorism and the war in Iraq provided reasons for
planners and qualifiers alike to stay close to home,
much has changed.
First of all, the psychological impact of terrorism has
waned. We are becoming Europeanized in
understanding that our new approach to everyday life
and to traveling is here to stay. Our fear has greatly
diminished and life goes on. For the most part, people

Buyers are bombarded with options in this world of
information overload. Alternative solutions, new
destinations, services and ideas are constantly
presenting themselves to decision makers. Technology
makes it possible to find many suppliers, a range of
prices, and a variety of creative ideas for incentive
travel programs. Sadly, we have sometimes seen tools
and technology win over long-term relationships. This
is not a trend that we four long-time incentive travel
practitioners find thrilling. But it's a reality that is not
going to disappear.
fourCE.org counsels each of our clients
on the importance of relationships in the incentive
travel field. We firmly believe that the effort made to
build long-term partnerships with both your customers
and your suppliers is crucial. But are relationships
enough to get and keep customers? The answer is a
resounding "NO!"
