You'll see a free proposal in 48 hours with 2–3 destinations and one itemized per-person price. No hidden fees, no commitment. Trips usually begin around $1,450 per person, flights quoted separately.

Questions to settle before you choose

• Is it an incentive or an offsite? Incentive programs need qualification rules, communications and tracking. Offsites need good meeting rooms and a realistic agenda.
• Who books air? ITA and similar firms often manage group air. Offsiteio quotes flights separately so attendees can fly from wherever they are.
• What's the fee model? Ask every shortlist provider for an itemized per-person quote.
• How fast do you need a plan? Enterprise scoping takes time. We turn proposals around in 48 hours.
