The IncentiveTrips Honors
Free community awards
The industry’s awards shouldn’t be invoices. No entry fees, no gala tables, no “winner’s marketing package.” Nominations are free, always — and winners are chosen on merit, announced annually.
Best Boutique Agency
Small team, outsized craft. The shops that prove headcount is not the same as quality.
Best Destination Management Company
The on-the-ground partners who make a destination feel like an inside track.
Rising Star
A provider under ten years old that is already changing how programs get built.
Best Sustainability Program
Real, measured environmental practice — not a paragraph on a proposal.
Planner's Choice
Voted by the people who book the trips. The only jury that matters.
