  • Spa Treatments – Tips on How to Negotiate and Manage

    by Rachel on Feb 9th, 2010 | Has 0 comments
    Spa treatments are a hot activity on incentive trips. In my experience, both men and women enjoy time at the spa. Spa treatments can also be one of the trickier parts of the program for incentive planners to manage – particularly if you have a large group. Too many times, appointments go unused, travel staff scrambles and money is wasted. Here is a list of negotiation tips, and tips in general for spa success:

    by Rachel on Jan 27th, 2010 | Has 0 comments
    There are many activities in Breckenridge for those who are NOT a fan of skiing or snowboarding. While I do happen to love the slopes, my personal take is: a Breckenridge ski trip is not complete without a snowmobile tour. So, while you are researching Breckenridge accommodations, be sure to also include a Breckenridge snowmobile excursion. It is one of my all-time favorite activities. When booking your group, here are a few pointers:

    by Rachel on Jan 27th, 2010 | Has 0 comments
    My first Breckenridge ski vacation was a memorable experience; I loved the clean air, the beautiful mountains, skiing, Breckenridge lodging and all the fun activities that brought out the outdoorsy part of me. Because of this, I am going take a brief departure from blogging about group travel, and spend some time on Breckenridge as a whole. Here’s my experience with Breckenridge transportation: Air: via Frontier Airlines I loved:

I’m a culture fanatic! I love to immerse myself in a destination’s culture and experience the richness of what it offers through its people, foods, arts, entertainment, shopping and sightseeing. You simply cannot appreciate a destination without understanding its culture. It seems the more cultures I learn about the more I learn about myself!

I’ll travel anywhere, anytime. Give me a days notice and I’m gone, ready to take on my next adventure.

My philosophy: My current position has me working in the performance-improvement industry where I scout out exotic destinations, rate the best hotels, discover new restaurants, try out different activities . . . it’s a blast. I like to jump in with both feet and experience life first-hand.

Life goal: To do what I’m doing now . . . travel to exotic places and continue to build my art collection. Right now, traveling the world is the biggest adventure this life has to offer.
