		<description><![CDATA[Definitely, one expects to find Christmas in countries with a Christian tradition. As Christmas has become more and more of a secular holiday, you'll even find celebrations and blockbuster holiday decorations in countries with other religious traditions.

So next year, if you're looking for a special place to take your team for a pre-Christmas incentive trip, you'll find Christmas in more places than you can imagine.

		<description><![CDATA[With it's blend of Malay, Chinese, British, East Indian, Portuguese, and aboriginal Iban and Bidayuh influences, Kuching is a hidden gem for incentive travel. The first time I saw Kuching, also known as "Cat City", refecting its Chinese name, was over a decade ago. The view from my room with the Chinese junks floating on the water and shophouses linking the riverbanks was enchanting. In Kuching, there are surprises around every corner including the Tua Pek Kong Temple dating back to the mid-19th century, Fort Margherita in the distance, India Street, the famous cat monument, and the Cat Museum (yes, a museum devoted to cats).<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=executiveoasis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4316032&amp;post=1932&amp;subd=executiveoasis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With many Toronto companies putting their incentive travel programmes on hold, luxury events are now an accessible and affordable alternative for corporate teams. For a fraction of the cost of a foreign sales incentive trip, your team or your clients can experience everything from polo to luxury car events. Even if your company still needs to tighten the purse strings this year, there are still many cost effecive options for corporate team events in Toronto.

		<description><![CDATA[It's not too often that one gets to visit a place where everything is sparkling shiney and new but that's a perfect description of Dubai. Dubai is a futuristic Arabian nights fantasy that has emerged from the sand dunes during the past 5 years so there are always new things to see and do. I've been going there since December, 2000 and there is always a fresh adventure or attraction awaiting the visitor. I make a point of building these adventures into the incentive trips and team building retreats that my company, Executive Oasis International, designs and facilitates for its clients. I just got back from Dubai. What changes did I notice? What new adventures have we added to our line up?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=executiveoasis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4316032&amp;post=1830&amp;subd=executiveoasis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When disaster strikes, the knee jerk reaction is "Oh, we can't possibly consider taking our team there for a sales incentive trip or team building retreat". Naturally, no one would be wise to take their team into an area during a period of instability, combat, or a pending nuclear meltdown. Unfortunately, long after calm has been restored and a crisis has subsided, there is usually a lingering fear of particular destinations. 

Instead of permanently crossing certain destinations off your list, when disaster strikes, make them a priority. Maybe you can't hop on a plane and take your team there tomorrow but monitor the situation.  Get status updates and re-entertain the possibility 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months down the road.

Companies that really have heart can use disasters to transform their incentives and foreign retreats forever.  If your team has special skills and expertise, why not dispatch a group to help with the clean up? The skills of construction workers, fire fighters, architects, landscapers, medical professionals, chefs, and caterers are all needed during periods of disaster. Food and beverage companies can send a team to a foreign destination to distribute non-perishable food.

Of course, it's not practical to travel to deliver supplies at the height of a severe disaster or when a potential nuclear nuclear meltdown pending. As an alternative, have a fundraiser or assemble packages with clothing, water, non-perishable foods, flashlights, masks, toiletries, medical supplies, tools, nails, and school supplies. Dispatch the supplies through a respected charity or the local consulate for that country.

I dedicate this personal snapshots to my colleagues, friends, associates, and the many kind people I met in Egypt.  I can't connect with them as the Internet is blocked.

		<description><![CDATA[Malaysia has been selected as one of the top 10 most affordable incentive travel destinations in the world. CEOs in Asia and the Middle East have discovered that, in Malaysia, they can beat the heat and provide their teams with memorable and affordable summer  sales incentive trips and team building retreats that combine facilitated business exercises with outdoor team challenges. Malaysia offers a number of places where your team will be cool and comfortable even in August. In Cameron Highlands, Berjaya Hills, Fraser's Hills, and Genting Highlands, not only will you find relief from the soaring temperatures in other parts of southeast asia, you'll also provide your team with a lifetime memory of experiences. In Malaysia, luxury really is affordable.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=executiveoasis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4316032&amp;post=1613&amp;subd=executiveoasis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Companies that have put their incentive travel programmes on hold this year are on the lookout for memorable, unique yet more affordable experiences close to home. Luxury car events aren't inexpensive. However, to reward your team and build customer loyalty, luxury car incentives offer a great alternative at a fraction of the cost of foreign incentive travel. They can also fit very nicely into an agenda for an on or off-site meeting. For facilitated business team building, they can also flesh out a theme about operating in a fast-paced or rapidly changing environment.

by Guest Blogger Jill Ireland
====
I occasionally meet with a client who wants to plan a meeting or event, but balks at the notion of having me perform a site inspection. 

An in-person site inspection, by someone who knows what to look for and what questions to ask, is one of the most crucial, and financially responsible, elements of the entire planning process. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=executiveoasis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4316032&amp;post=1566&amp;subd=executiveoasis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The remnant's of Asia's monsoons spray a cooling mist all over Dhofar and transform an area that is normally desert and rocky mountain into tropical oasis. Companies from around the world can take a leaf out of their book and travel to Salalah during the summer months to provide a memorable incentive trip for their team. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=executiveoasis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4316032&amp;post=1504&amp;subd=executiveoasis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
