Innovative Costa Rica Incentive Trip Ideas for Employees
Today’s companies understand the power of incentive travel, as an invaluable way to recognize their top-performing employees, salespeople, and partners. With nearly 40% of businesses in the United States now using incentive travel programs, you may be wondering how to make your incentive trip to Costa Rica truly unique for your employees.
In this blog, our team at Costa Rica DMC explores some innovative ideas to include in your employee incentive trip to Costa Rica.
Costa Rican Coffee Origin Experience
Participate in an educational coffee experience that takes your staff through the entire Costa Rican coffee production process. Visit local coffee farms, cooperatives, and processing mills to give your employees a hands-on understanding of coffee harvesting, processing, and grading techniques. This type of experience provides valuable knowledge and allows employees to return home with a new appreciation for the craft behind Costa Rican coffee.
Adventure-Themed Scavenger Hunts
Create a scavenger hunt through one of the many diverse landscapes in Costa Rica. You can customize your scavenger hunt to include local wildlife, traditions, and Costa Rica’s hidden spots. Implementing this in your incentive trip encourages teamwork and problem-solving while keeping employees engaged. You can even add rewards to reinforce company messages.
Eco-Friendly Corporate Social Responsibility Retreats
Plan a corporate social responsibility trip and stay at an eco-friendly luxury resort such as the Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo or The Westin Reserva Conchal. Include activities supporting local social responsibility efforts, such as sea turtle protection or community education programs. This will provide your employees with a wholesome experience while giving back to Costa Rica.
Costa Rican Culinary Experiences
Explore Costa Rica’s culinary scene through cooking classes, farm visits, and one-of-a-kind dining experiences. You can organize a farm-to-table dinner or beachside barbecue that allows your employees to experience the cuisine of Costa Rica and indulge in favorites such as Gallo Pinto, Chifrijo, Tamales, and more. Take it a step further by organizing a cooking competition that challenges your staff to use local ingredients!
Exclusive Access to Natural Attractions
Discover Costa Rica’s unique natural beauty at La Fortuna, Arenal Volcano, and Tabacón Hot Springs. Arrange private national park tours or special access to protected areas. For instance, you can organize an exclusive nighttime tour of a bioluminescent bay or a guided hike to a hidden waterfall. When it comes to the natural wonders of Costa Rica, the attractions are endless.
