SITE Canada member Jennifer Attersall provided some excellent incentive travel soundbites in a recent article by The Globe and Mail, Canada’s national news organization. She highlighted the importance of an enhanced focus on wellness, personalized, and one-of-a-kind experiences as competition for talent heats up across industries.

G’day, Business Events Australia

We’d be remiss if we didn’t celebrate the reopening of Australia’s borders, with fully vaccinated leisure and business visitors welcome to enter the country as of February 21. We’re excited to support the strong return of incentive business to the region under the expertise and guidance of Business Events Australia, one of SITE’s 2022 strategic partners.
