The Mole talks to the international buyers at Dreamtime – their view of Australia
Driving Force Incentives is a new business having bought Pearman and Associates in April to manage group travel and events including incentives.
We both have extensive experience of the business and while we organise a wide range of travel incentives, we believe that the real money today is to be made in merchandise incentives, which we offer as an on line product to their clients.
Australia is a very popular destination for Kiwi incentives because it is relatively close, relatively inexpensive to get to and there are cultural similarities between Australia and New Zealand.
We tend to work with select venues suitable for smaller groups of 5,10 or 30 max and for say only 2 or 3 nights, and our incentives are totally exclusive and different and we continuously seek the points of difference between us and other companies.
We also seek out things that our clients would not normally do as a family or couple and of course make sure we always deliver what we promise.
