Incentive Trips

An incentive trip is a reward your people earn, not a vacation the company books. It motivates when it feels out of reach on their own and the recognition lands. We design the trip so it does. You decide who earned it.

What decides whether a retreat works

It's not the resort. It's whether the trip feels earned, and beyond what they would book themselves.

We start with one question: who earned this, and what are you recognizing? Everything follows.

A President's Club for your top reps is built around individual achievement. The reward is the seat the rest of the team didn't get. The experience they couldn't have booked on their own, the dinner where leadership flew in to thank them by name. Earned, and visibly so.

A trip to thank the whole team, or mark a milestone, is built differently. The recognition is collective and personal. Everyone is in it, and the spend reads as genuine care, characterful over flashy. Shorts and a t-shirt, and the best meal they've had all year.Same trip. Two designs. Because who earned it, and why, is different..

Our clients measure the Difference

Pathpoint, an insurtech company, brought Flok in for a 70-person retreat in Vail, Colorado. Their team was too busy to plan it, and Flok understood what a startup needs better than a large corporate planner.

In the two weeks after, Pathpoint set records on some of their most important company metrics.

Newsela brought 400 people through a CEO transition. 96% left clear on what's next.

Light's CFO saved 300+ hours. His team rated it 9.8 out of 10.

Moloco brought 800 people from 13 offices together. Engagement rose from the low 70s to 95.

3 in 4 clients plan their next retreat with Flok within 12 months.

Where Your Retreat Gets Designed

The design starts before you even commit. You see the thinking in writing first.

The Design Workshop
If we're a fit, we run a working session to get to the primary objective: the one thing this retreat has to accomplish. That sets the shape of everything after.
Your Blueprint
The outcome of your design workshop, a written document showing how the retreat is designed around that objective. Not the full itinerary. The first few decisions that will shape your retreat toward your primary goal. Yours to keep, whether you partner with us or not.
Once we partner
We complete the Blueprint with the secondary goals and define how we'll measure success. Then we build the retreat and run it on-site. Every vendor, every transfer. You lead it. We run the rest.

Questions About Planning Your Incentive Trip?

We've designed hundreds of incentive programs for companies rewarding 10 to 500+ top performers. Here are the questions we hear most often. Still have questions? Let’s talk about your vision. No sales pitch, just honest guidance.

What is an incentive trip?

An incentive trip is a reward program where top performers earn an all-expenses-paid travel experience. These trips recognize exceptional achievement, motivate continued excellence, and create memorable experiences that reinforce company culture and values.

How long are typical incentive trips?

Most incentive trips run 3-5 days (including travel days). This timeframe provides enough time for meaningful experiences and relationship-building while respecting winners’ time away from work and family.

How do you help us build excitement before the trip?

We design pre-trip communication campaigns that build anticipation through branded swag boxes, countdown emails, and exclusive destination reveals. This extends the value of your investment and keeps participants engaged months before departure.

Can you help us design the qualification criteria for our incentive program?

Absolutely. We partner with you to design qualification criteria that align with your business objectives, whether that’s revenue growth, new customer acquisition, or strategic account expansion. We’ll also help structure tiered programs that drive participation at multiple performance levels.

How do you maintain program momentum over several months?

We create milestone communications, leaderboard updates, and teaser content that keep qualifiers engaged throughout the performance period. Post-trip, we provide recap videos and photo books that extend the impact and build excitement for next year’s program.

How do you select the right destination?

We consider your budget, qualifier demographics, seasonal timing, and desired experience level. We source destinations that balance aspirational appeal with logistical feasibility, ensuring maximum impact for your investment.

Recognition That Drives Performance

You focus on setting the bar and we’ll create an experience worth reaching it for.
