A spectacular West Coast USA tour along Highway 1

The Brief

As with all recurring incentive programmes, our challenge was to outdo the previous year’s incentive trip; to raise the bar further.

Our task was to put in place an incentive programme that would motivate and inspire the sales team to blast through their targets. A key demand from our client was to deliver to them a programme that was different to anything that they had done before hence the creation of our Road Trip concept.

What we did

TUESDAY: Flights arrived into Los Angeles airport and were followed by a private transfer to Santa Monica for dinner at The Penthouse and accommodation at the Huntley Hotel.

WEDNESDAY: The day started with a tour of the client’s iconic production facility followed by an afternoon at leisure with the day finishing off in style with dinner at Michael’s restaurant.

THURSDAY: After check-out, the guests got behind the wheel of one of ten waiting cars (from Mustangs to SUVs) to cruise north to the Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara with a beautiful dinner at the Bella Vista Terrace overlooking the sea.
