Help your group feel important! General Travel can arrange "arrival banners" welcoming your group to New Zealand, awaiting in the airports arrivals hall and foyer of your hotels.

A celebrity or influential guest speaker from a wide range of backgrounds from Business to Sport can be arranged to provide that welcome speech or dinner entertainment. Examples of popular New Zealand speakers include Sir Edmund Hillary - conqueror of Everest, Sir Peter Blake - leader of New Zealand’s winning Americas Cup syndicate and Sir Roger Douglas - leading "free market" politician and business leader. Another option is the use of the Mayor or a prominent local politician to welcome the group!

Amongst New Zealand’s many unique features, is the culture of our local Maori people. A formal Maori "Wero" (challenge) followed by the "powhiri" (welcome) is a unique and moving experience for an overseas visitor, particularly when followed by a Maori concert party performing a selection of favourite love and action songs including the fearsome "haka" or war dance.

An opportunity is available each day to reward and motivate your incentive winners with a small pillow gift - a further symbol of your companies appreciation of the excellent work undertaken by your staff. Gifts and little surprises can be sourced to stimulate your group as they look forward to each day of their incentive tour!

Introduce an element of humour and style into your incentive package with a choice of zany and fun transfer options - Stretch Limousines, Double Decker Buses, Horses & Cart are amongst some of the options available. What's more - these modes of transport can be themed to suit your group.

Further surprises can be arranged for the group during their tour including novelty turndowns at the hotel each evening, fancy dress wake up calls, surprise hi-jacking of the coach and the kidnapping and eventual safe return of the tour leader.

No holiday is complete with out some retail (shopping) therapy. General Travel can arrange access to "smart card" technology that allows the company to credit a gift dollar value to incentive participants for safe and convenient shopping at selected establishments.

Not every incentive group wants or needs a full day of planned activities. General Travel can arrange hospitality desks at your hotel to assist individual guests/participants with any optional travel requirements they may require.
