Top incentive ideas, part 3


19. Cruising in style
This 78-foot, double-decker event yacht redefines luxury on the water, offering over 278m2 of floating entertainment space in Victoria Harbour.

Beyond standard harbour cruises, additional itineraries can include a Southern Island cruise by Repulse Bay or a seafood dinner at Lamma Island. To enhance the experience, live bands and F&B options are available, as are additional activities like yoga workshops, perfume workshops, and wine tastings.

The maximum cruising capacity is 50 guests. A standard harbour cruise package begins at HK$48,000 (US$6,115) + 10 per cent service charge for 50 guests, covering free-flow non-alcoholic beverages and essential AV equipment (screens, TV, microphone, projector, speakers).


20. Natural wonders
Explore the rock formations, moss-covered boulders, and moist crevices sculpted by centuries of water and air that lend a stunning, almost mystical quality to the Tutulari Inararo Avatar Gorge in Pampanga, Philippines. This paradise within the ancestral domain of the indigenous Aeta community was discovered only several years ago.

Then hike off to Puning Hot Spring, formed by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, to soak in its hot and cold pools and get buried in a hot sand before being covered in mud, for a relaxing and cleansing ablution. This tour is organised by Pinatubo Mountainero, for up to 12 pax per group.


21. Executive escapes
Located near Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, India, Aamaghati Wildlife Resort offers accommodation perfect for exploring local wildlife, including tigers. Jungle safaris are available upon request, accompanied by expert guides. On clear nights, stargazing can also be enjoyed.

Suitable for groups of up to 250 people, evenings can feature an outdoor high tea under a Mango tree, complete with displays of local arts and crafts like pottery and bangle making, alongside musical performances. A unique touch: each room number begins with ‘T’, mirroring the numbering system for tigers in Ranthambore National Park.


22. A timeless journey
Step aboard The Blue Jasmine, a luxury rail journey like no other, winding through five culturally rich provinces of Thailand aboard a restored 1960s sleeper train.

This exquisite nine-day experience blends historic elegance with immersive, off-the-beaten-track excursions – from temple-strewn Ayutthaya to artisanal Sukhothai. Culminating in a riverside finale at the heritage Siri Sala villa in Bangkok, this private charter delivers exclusivity and Thai heritage at its finest.

Offered by DTH Travel, the Blue Jasmine train can comfortably accommodate up to 37 passengers across its 10 wagons.


23. Fold of honour
For a captivating cultural experience, delegates can explore the rich symbolism behind the tanjak, traditional Malay headgear. More than just folded cloth, the tanjak signifies rank, heritage, and identity. With over 208 documented folding styles, each variation tells a unique story.

Participants will learn how the tanjak serves as non-verbal communication, conveying status, allegiance, and pride through intricate folds that honour centuries of tradition. This activity is organised within a heritage building in Kuala Lumpur by Dusky Leaf Adventures.


24. Up and away
Treat your star employees to the ultimate high and discover Laos from the sky with a luxurious helicopter ride with Khiri Travel Laos.

Fly high above the stunning Nam Ngum Reservoir, often called “The Sea of Laos”. Witness Vang Vieng’s dramatic limestone mountains from an incredible vantage point, or uncover the secrets of the Plain of Jars from the sky. The company also provide helicopter transfers from Vientiane to Luang Prabang, ensuring a stylish and efficient journey for delegates.


25. Gastronomic jaunt
Organised by Macau Explorer Cultural Travel and Go Out Mall, this three-hour culinary tour is guided by a reputable chef, providing a hands-on culinary experience for incentive groups.

For example, chef Justin Paul (formerly of Michelin-star Golden Peacock) will lead participants through a local wet market to handpick fresh ingredients for a subsequent cooking session.

The tour, designed for eight to 20 participants, also includes exploring Macau’s hidden alleys and sampling iconic street snacks.


26. Puppet legacy
Delve into Cambodia’s rich culture with a shadow puppet theatre class.

The sacred art form of Sbek Thom – a UNESCO listed cultural treasure – has been entertaining Cambodians since pre-Angkorian times with towering puppets made of intricately-carved leather used to tell the tale of the Reamker, the Khmer version of the Ramayana.

The Sovanna Phum Art Association offers private puppet-making and dance workshops in Phnom Penh, giving visitors the unique chance to learn more about the UNESCO-listed art form that teeters on the brink of extinction.  


27. Sky-high sojourn
Embark on an unforgettable aerial journey with Volcanic Air, exploring Rotorua’s iconic volcanic landscapes. This experience starts with a 30-minute scenic floatplane flight, providing breathtaking views above Mount Tarawera and the Waimangu Volcanic Valley.

Ideal for groups up to 15, the experience culminates with a private landing at Lake Rotoiti’s secluded hot pools. Here, guests will enjoy a 90-minute soak in seven geothermal springs, accessible exclusively by air or water.
