Request a ProposalWhat we deliver for incentive programmes
Mercury Pacific has designed and delivered incentive travel in New Zealand and Australia since 2001 for corporate planners, incentive houses, travel agents and wholesalers. We handle the ground programme end to end: meet-and-greet, private transfers and coaches, hotel and lodge accommodation, gala dinners and award nights, signature activities, local guides, gifting and on-tour staff. Our operations team supports the group 24/7, and every element is quoted on net rates.
Incentive programmes succeed on hero moments — a private vineyard dinner, a helicopter landing on a glacier, a harbour cruise or a Māori cultural welcome — balanced with free time and well-paced logistics. We design that balance around your company's goals and the profile of your qualifiers.
How an incentive brief is quoted
Share your objectives, approximate number of qualifiers and partners, preferred travel window, budget guidance, programme length and any must-have experiences or branding requirements. We respond with one or more programme concepts, a day-by-day itinerary and a costed net-rate proposal, then refine venues, hotels and activities with you until the programme is right. After confirmation we contract suppliers, prepare run sheets and contingency plans, and work with your team on delegate communications.
Group sizes, lead times and where we go
We run incentive groups from small top-performer trips of a dozen guests to programmes of several hundred, using multiple coaches, venues and hotels where needed. Because exclusive venues and premium hotels book early, we recommend briefing us as far ahead as you can — particularly for New Zealand and Australian summer and for larger groups — although shorter lead times can often be accommodated.
Popular incentive regions include Queenstown, Rotorua, the Bay of Islands, Christchurch and Canterbury in New Zealand, and Sydney, Melbourne, the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru and Tasmania in Australia. Programmes can combine both countries.
