2025 is already proving to be a year we won’t forget. From dream destinations to team trips that leave a mark, our incentive travel programmes have been doing what they do best, recognising top performers in ways that truly mean something.

At Uwin Iwin, we believe that recognition shouldn’t be bland or forgettable. It should be bold, personal and memorable, something your people carry with them long after they’ve returned home. With the creativity and care of our award-winning travel team, that’s exactly what we’ve been delivering across the globe this year.

A Quick Look at What We’ve Been Up To

This year, our top-performing teams have swapped office desks for travel bags — heading to some of the world’s most inspiring locations. These trips weren’t just about rewards — they were about connection, shared moments, and celebration.

Here’s where we’ve taken incentive travel in 2025 so far:

  • Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    A milestone moment for Uwin Iwin — we hosted one of our largest-ever incentive groups with 320 travellers. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience designed to inspire, motivate, and celebrate success on a truly grand scale.

  • Vietnam (Hanoi & Halong Bay)
    A blend of ancient culture and natural beauty — where our teams explored floating villages, limestone islands, and Vietnam’s rich heartbeat.

  • Réunion Island
    Think volcano hikes, lava tubing, and wild island adventures that pushed comfort zones and built team spirit in the best way possible.

  • Mediterranean Cruise (Italy, Greece & Turkey)
    Five cities. Three countries. Eight days of breathtaking views, luxury, and history — an incentive that raised the bar (and then some).

  • Chicago, USA
    From skyline rooftop dinners to exploring deep-dish pizza joints — this city break offered the perfect mix of fun, flavour, and inspiration.

  • Dubai, UAE
    Desert luxury, 5-star experiences, dune adventures, and futuristic city energy. Every moment here was unforgettable.

Each destination was more than a getaway, it was a moment of real, meaningful recognition. Because when people feel seen and appreciated, they give more.

What’s Still to Come in 2025…

And we’re not done yet. We’re deep in planning mode for the final stretch of the year, lining up incredible destinations that will celebrate teams who continue to show up and deliver with excellence.

Every journey we design is a mix of adventure, purpose, and pure inspiration and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next.

Why Travel Incentives Work

Travel incentives aren’t just a “nice-to-have.” They’re one of the most powerful tools a business can use to:

  • Increase sales performance
  • Strengthen employee engagement
  • Boost team motivation
  • Build loyalty and trust
  • Reduce the turnover of top talent

They create lasting memories, deeper relationships, and cultures people want to be part of. They work and we’ve seen the proof, year after year.
