As the leading voice for the incentive travel industry, the SITE Foundation has launched an advocacy campaign to demonstrate the value of incentive travel as an effective marketing and business tool. By harnessing the experiences of carefully selected incentive travel users, our goal is to collect and share actual case studies that provide proof that incentive travel means business results, therefore increasing the perceived value and use of incentive travel worldwide.
