Incentive Travel FAQs
1. Which destination is right for our incentive group: Guatemala, Belize, or Mexico?
The best choice depends on where participants are traveling from, how many days are available, and the type of experience you want to offer. Guatemala combines historic venues, Maya heritage, and Lake Atitlán. Belize is a good fit for groups interested in Caribbean activities and rainforest experiences. Mexico's Yucatán region offers haciendas, cultural activities, and distinctive dining venues. Martsam can compare suitable options before you commit to a destination.
2. How easy is it to reach the destination and organize transfers?
Flight connections and transfer times should be considered before selecting hotels or activities. Martsam can help planners compare arrival airports, road journeys, domestic flight options, and practical routes within each destination. We recommend choosing a program that allows participants enough time to enjoy the experience rather than spend most of the trip traveling.
3. What group sizes work best for incentive travel in these destinations?
Martsam focuses on smaller incentive groups. The appropriate size depends on the hotels, venues, transportation, and activities selected. Some experiences are better suited to intimate groups, while others can accommodate more participants. Share your estimated numbers so we can recommend realistic options.
4. Can our agency work with Martsam as its local DMC?
Yes. Martsam works with incentive travel agencies and event planners that need a destination partner. We can assist with local program development, accommodation and venue sourcing, transportation, activities, and on-site coordination. The responsibilities and commercial arrangements are agreed upon for each project.
5. What should we expect in an incentive travel quotation?
A proposal should identify the recommended program, proposed accommodations, activities, transportation, and special events. It should also explain which services are included, which remain optional, and any relevant supplier conditions. Martsam develops quotations around the group's requirements and available budget rather than relying on fixed incentive packages.
6. How are safety, contingency planning, and on-site coordination addressed?
These requirements should be discussed during program planning. Martsam can review local transportation arrangements, activity requirements, supplier coordination, and practical alternatives when schedules change. Planners should include their company's safety, insurance, accessibility, and emergency-response requirements in the initial brief so responsibilities can be defined clearly.
7. What should we include in an incentive travel RFP?
Provide your preferred dates, estimated group size, departure cities, destination preferences, and budget range. Explain whether the program is a sales reward, employee recognition trip, or another type of incentive. Include hotel standards, special events, accessibility needs, and any corporate requirements. If you already have a formal RFP, you can send it directly to Martsam for review.
