Incentive programs have long been an integral part of business. Since virtually every component of performance and success can be influenced by employee satisfaction on at least some level, incentives are a natural strategic tool for businesses to remain both competitive and productive in the professional atmosphere. However, it’s important to note that incentives come in a variety of shapes and sizes… and not all incentives are created equal!
For travellers with hidden disabilities, the normal stress associated with travel (whether for business or pleasure) is compounded by several additional factors. Whether you’re a travel companion, event planner, group coordinator, travel manager or an individual personally affected by a hidden disability, it’s important to understand what proactive steps you can take to ensure a smooth trip.

What was the most amazing event you’ve ever been to? Whichever glittering party, wedding, or corporate awayday you’re recalling right now, chances are you’re remembering the way the whole experience made you feel. For the same reason, you can probably recall an event you didn’tenjoy just as easily (if you were one of the unlucky people who bought tickets to 2017’s doomed Fyre Festival, no doubt the harrowing experience will still be fresh in your mind!) What really separates a divine event from a disastrous one is expert attention to detail. The location, theme, décor, and entertainment – not to …

The Netflix documentary Fyre:The Greatest Party That Never Happened tells the full story, which begins with an exclusive collection of world-famous influencers hyping the festival to secure vast levels of investment.
