May and June bring so many wonderful reasons to celebrate: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations and weddings. It reminds me why the incentive travel industry is so special: we celebrate human achievement.

In this over-worked and stress-filled world, SITE supports the industry sector that lifts people up — and this brings benefits you many not even be aware of.

From one source:

“A number of studies have found that [celebrating] brings significant benefits, including improved physical health and better coping strategies. People who take time to reflect on — and celebrate — their successes are generally more optimistic, take better care of themselves and tend to be less stressed.

Celebrations increase people’s sense of well-being, regardless of socioeconomic factors, education, age or gender.”

So in addition to generating jobs and moving business forward, the work you all do is improving mental and emotional health.

Thank you for all you do to bring people together in a disconnected world!
