Susah-susah gampang memilih destinasi perjalanan insentif di masa pandemi. Pertimbangannya bukan lagi sekadar Instagramable, namun konsistensi dalam penerapan protokol kesehatan.
Lokasi yang Instagramable, pemandangan alam yang bagus, dan fasilitas di sekitar destinasi, antara lain menjadi pertimbangan memilih destinasi perjalanan insentif sebelum pandemi.
Selama dan setelah pandemi, pertimbangannya menjadi lebih panjang. Bukan lagi sekadar enak dilihat atau bagus untuk berswafoto, namun juga penerapan protokol kesehatan (prokes) yang konsisten sampai ketersediaan fasilitas sesuai prokes COVID-19 menjadi pertimbangan utama.
Sebelum menentukan destinasi perjalanan insentif, ada baiknya Anda atau provider perjalanan insentif yang Anda pilih memastikan sejumlah hal berikut:
Pertama, konsistensi menerapkan prokes. Jangan sampai prokes yang ada hanya pajangan, dan penerapannya di destinasi tersebut longgar. Pastikan, prokes ini dijalankan oleh karyawan atau petugas di destinasi yang akan dipilih.
Cari tahu juga, apakah destinasi tersebut menyediakan satgas COVID-19 untuk menjaga kedisiplinan pelaksanaan prokes.
Kedua, pantau apakah destinasi tersebut menyediakan fasilitas sesuai prokes COVID-19. Mulai dari ketersediaan dan kondisi tempat cuci tangan, fasilitas hand sanitizer di berbagai titik, kebersihan destinasi dan apakah secara berkala dilakukan diinfeksi.
Ketiga, cek juga apakah destinasi tersebut menyediakan fasilitas kesehatan atau prosedur apabila peserta perjalanan insentif atau bahkan pengunjung ada yang terpapar COVID-19.
Intinya, melakukan perjalanan insentif di masa pandemi bukan hanya mempertimbangkan keindahan lokasi, namun juga kenyamanan, keamanan, dan kesehatan peserta perjalanan insentif.
Ingat, Anda atau provider penyelenggara perjalanan insentif merupakan pihak yang paling bertanggung jawab pada peserta perjalanan insentif.
Pihak provider pun mesti terbuka dengan segala informasi yang perlu diketahui perusahaan atau korporat yang menjadi klien Anda.

Check Off These Three Things Before Deciding on an Incentive Travel Destination
Choosing an incentive travel destination can be both effortless and difficult during these pandemic times. Having instagramable quality is no longer the only consideration as one must also take into account the health protocols applied in the area.
Instagrammable location, great views of nature, and available local facilities were some of the few considerations incentive travellers might have before the pandemic.
However, throughout the course of the pandemic, the list of things you need to be mindful about has definitely grown. Now, visual appeal and photogenicity has taken a back seat to consistent application of health protocols as well as accessibility to healthcare facilities relevant to COVID-19.
Before deciding on incentive travel destinations, it is a good idea for travellers and facilitators of the trip to confirm the things which are listed below:
First, consistency in the implementation of health protocols. Avoid destinations with loose health protocols or regulations that are just for show. Make sure that the employees and officers within the destination area are strictly following appropriate procedures.
Additionally, you can also find out whether or not the destination has a COVID-19 Response Acceleration Task Force, who will ensure that regulations are applied accordingly.
Second, keep track of the available facilities which are in accordance with COVID-19 health protocols. You can start from the quality of the hand-washing stations, the accessibility of hand sanitizers, the overall cleanliness of the space as well as whether or not it is periodically disinfected.
Third, check the destination’s readiness in the event of visitors’ exposure to COVID-19, particularly its health facilities and procedures.
In a nutshell, incentive travel during the pandemic requires its travellers to prioritize their own comfort, safety, and health in addition to the beauty of the location.
Please remember that both the facilitators and travellers are responsible for the well-being of everyone involved in the trip. In addition, facilitators should be transparent about all necessary information concerning clients.
