How to Wow a “Been There, Done That” Group
The incentive travel audience is ever more informed, between the internet, Instagram, and hundreds of travel shows about places to be wowed—and often the means to travel on their own. Balance that with a new audience for incentive travel—the digital natives. SITE’s Head of Events Tahira Endean, who is charged with having to create programs that excite the most well-traveled incentive audience, will share her unique perspective.
