As we complete our 50th anniversary year, I am so grateful for all we’ve accomplished together for the global incentive travel industry. I’m not only encouraged by how our community supports each other, but thrilled for the future of incentive travel. Here are just some of the highlights from an incredible year.

Plan Mindful Meetings and Incentive Inspirations in Hawaiʻi
In West Maui, recent wildfires have resulted in the devastating loss of loved ones, homes, cultural and historic sites and businesses in Lahaina. We are grateful for the outpouring of support for Maui from around the world, from sharing memories and offering assistance to asking questions about travel to Maui and the other Hawaiian Islands.
Amidst the tragedy, the spirit of Maui remains strong. With the exception of Lahaina, the rest of Maui is open and welcoming meeting attendees and visitors. If you are considering visiting any of the Hawaiian Islands in the near future, including Maui, please know that respectful travel is welcomed and encouraged, now more than ever. You and your group will be supporting Hawaiʻi’s economy and positively impacting Maui’s road to recovery.
From the Alps to the Mediterranean, Italy is ready to host your next conference, convention or incentive travel program
Italy’s dynamic, well-developed MICE sector is consistently ranked as one of the best in the world. Offering the infrastructure and facilities for successful business events, the segment is experiencing unprecedented growth. More international events are being held in the Country, and these events are adding days to their programs and attracting greater numbers of attendees. In addition, Italy’s modern air, road and rail services make travel safe and convenient.
Italy’s great history, culture and geography offers a wide range of pre- and post-event bleisure opportunities. World-renowned cities such as Rome, Venice, Milan, Florence, and iconic areas and islands such as Sicily, Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, Cinque Terre, and the Italian Alps are popular. But there is increasing demand for off-the-beaten path destinations and cultural experiences. Blending business and leisure effortlessly, Italy is the perfect place to meet.
