These are the destinations catching the attention of the BI WORLDWIDE incentive travel team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#\">Let&#8217;s talk<\/a><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a reason certain destinations appear on incentive travel programmes year after year. They work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re accessible. They have the infrastructure. Buyers know what they&#8217;re getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as attendees become more experienced travellers, creating a sense of discovery is becoming increasingly important. In fact, recent<a href=\"https:\/\/theirf.org\/news\/2025-incentive-travel-index-released\/\"> industry research<\/a> found that nearly 70% of incentive travel buyers are actively seeking destinations they haven&#8217;t used before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That doesn&#8217;t mean abandoning proven destinations. It does mean thinking differently about how and where memorable experiences are created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We asked members of the BI WORLDWIDE incentive travel team which destinations they&#8217;re most excited about right now. Their answers weren&#8217;t necessarily the places you&#8217;d expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-384241b8 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Vietnam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If one destination generated the most enthusiasm, it was Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appeal lies in its variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few destinations can offer vibrant cities, stunning coastlines, rich cultural experiences, world-class food and adventure activities within a single programme. Whether attendees are exploring the streets of Hanoi, cruising through Ha Long Bay or experiencing the energy of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam gives organisers plenty of ways to build a diverse itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also a destination that feels authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than delivering a single experience, Vietnam allows attendees to experience multiple sides of the country in one incentive programme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2026\/07\/vertnam-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Polaroid-style photo of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, showing emerald green water, limestone islands covered with greenery, boats, and a blue sky with clouds.

Dubrovnik, Croatia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few years ago, Dubrovnik might not have featured on many incentive travel shortlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, that is starting to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often referred to as the &#8220;Pearl of the Adriatic&#8221;, Dubrovnik combines historic charm with luxury hospitality, stunning coastal scenery and a wide range of group experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city&#8217;s UNESCO-listed Old Town provides a dramatic backdrop for events, while the surrounding islands open up opportunities for private boat charters, beach clubs and exclusive dining experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of our team members recently returned from a site inspection and highlighted the destination&#8217;s ability to deliver both luxury and authentic local character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s a combination many buyers are looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2026\/07\/vertnam-1-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"A Polaroid-style photo of Dubrovnik shows a coastal city with terracotta rooftops, stone walls, cliffs, and clear blue sea under a bright sky.

Cambodia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cambodia remains one of the most underrated destinations in incentive travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While neighbouring countries often capture more attention, Cambodia offers something increasingly valuable: a genuine sense of discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the iconic temples of Angkor Wat to emerging luxury hospitality and meaningful community engagement opportunities, the country creates experiences that many attendees haven&#8217;t encountered before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For buyers trying to surprise well-travelled audiences, that&#8217;s a significant advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cambodia also lends itself well to programmes that combine cultural immersion with purpose-led experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2026\/07\/vertnam-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"A photograph of Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia at sunset, with its reflection visible in a lotus-filled pond.

Botswana and Zambia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some destinations are memorable because they&#8217;re beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others are memorable because they simply can&#8217;t be replicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s what makes Botswana and Zambia so compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safari experiences continue to feature prominently on many incentive travel wish lists, but these destinations offer something beyond a typical wildlife experience. Every game drive is different. Every sighting is unique. Every day creates the possibility of seeing something extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several members of the BI WORLDWIDE team highlighted safari destinations because of their ability to deliver genuine bucket-list moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re also increasingly attractive to buyers looking for experiences that attendees would struggle to organise independently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2026\/07\/vertnam-3-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"A group of meerkats stands upright on sandy ground in the sun, with blurred trees and sky in the background.

Rio de Janeiro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rio de Janeiro is one of those destinations that immediately creates excitement. While it may be more established than some emerging incentive destinations, it&#8217;s often overlooked in favour of more traditional long-haul options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes Rio stand out is its energy. Few destinations combine world-famous beaches, dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture and iconic experiences in quite the same way. From private events overlooking Sugarloaf Mountain to exploring the city&#8217;s neighbourhoods, attendees can experience a destination that feels both aspirational and authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also a destination that offers plenty of flexibility. Whether the objective is celebration, exploration, relaxation or team connection, Rio provides a range of experiences that can be tailored to different audiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2026\/07\/vertnam-4-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Aerial view of Rio de Janeiro with the Christ the Redeemer statue on a hilltop overlooking the city, surrounded by lush greenery and distant buildings.\" class=\"wp-image-10420\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it works for incentive travel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High-energy atmosphere and strong sense of occasion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Iconic scenery and recognisable landmarks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excellent mix of culture, leisure and exploration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wide range of experiential activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strong flight access from key international markets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best suited for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organisations looking for a destination that delivers excitement, variety and memorable shared experiences, while offering attendees a location they may never have visited independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What these destinations have in common<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the surface, these destinations couldn&#8217;t be more different. One offers safari experiences. Another delivers coastal luxury. Others focus on culture, history or exploration. Yet they all share the characteristics our incentive travel specialists believe matter most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They offer experiences attendees are unlikely to create for themselves. They provide opportunities for genuine connection with the destination. And they create stories people will still be talking about long after they&#8217;ve returned home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s increasingly important because memorable incentive travel isn&#8217;t simply about choosing somewhere beautiful. It&#8217;s about choosing somewhere that gives people experiences worth earning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The question buyers should ask<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When selecting an incentive travel destination, the question isn&#8217;t necessarily:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>&#8220;Where do we want to go?&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A better question might be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>&#8220;What do we want attendees to remember?&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer often leads to a very different destination shortlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At BI WORLDWIDE, we help organisations create incentive travel programmes that inspire performance, recognise achievement and deliver experiences people genuinely want to earn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group  layout-columns-10 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-26eedb5d wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-base-two-background-color has-background  has-dynamic-border-radius  layout-columns-4 has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-830d087c wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);background-image:url(&apos;https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/03\/CTA1.png&apos;);background-position:50% 50%;background-size:cover;\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-xxl-font-size\">Thinking about your next incentive travel destination?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary-fill\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" href=\"#\" modal-id=\"header-lead-gen\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button modal-trigger core-button-trigger\">Let&#8217;s talk<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for something beyond the usual incentive travel hotspots?
