Why Incentives?
The Incentive Research Foundation warns incentive programme planners that cash is rarely the most strategic choice to reward Best Performers. They recommend incentive travel awards instead.
Participants are motivated by the:
- Possibility to earn the incentive Travel Award
- Recognition of being able to participate in the Travel event
- Opportunity to network with other high performers
- Learning and sharing best practices
For Managers, incentive travel is a justified business expense, because it has more significant Return on Investment (ROI) than mere cash rewards. The most important tangible benefit is the increase in financial metrics due to improved performance. The intangible benefits include increased loyalty and reinforcement of the organizational culture.
Chill Out

Boost
Take your team to the next level!
Does your team need a bit of a push, but you don't know how to make it gently? Are year-end bonuses not cutting it? What if your people had something else to look forward to?
Unlike cash bonuses, incentive travel increases employee loyalty and boosts performance. However, very few companies take advantage of incentive travel as part of their rewards and recognition, but herein lies your edge!
Whether you wish to boost the performance of a small team that’s important to you or motivate your entire staff, Eco Team is your partner of choice!
Participants are guaranteed to enjoy their stay. Yet we go one step further: people come back to work as a better team, more skilled and committed to work together and reinforce your business objectives!

Tactical Action in Belihuloya
This exciting paintball adventure is easy to learn, but hard to master. You play a league with your mates where solitary Rambo-like feats won’t get you far and teamwork is a must. The winners are those with the best tactics, communication, planning and execution abilities. After a thrilling day, we retire to a natural camp that overlooks a lake. A delicious local BBQ around the campfire crowns the experience. This may be extended to a longer team-bonding experience.
Fly-in Safari to Yala or Udawalawe National Park
You will be picked up and transferred to Katunayake airport from where we fly in a private plane to Mattala. We then take a jeep ride to our Safari Camp where we have a mouth-watering lunch. A memorable wildlife safari is followed by a hearty BBQ meal around the campfire. As per your requirements, we either come back the following day or stay another night. The return trip will be either by coach or by plane.
Paramotoring Day in Galle or Bentota
We go to Galle or Bentota for this novel and exciting adventure sport. Our trained guide instructs your participants, one by one, to take this trustworthy flying machine up in the air. You get a bird's-eye view of breath-taking vistas. In the meantime, the others can have fun at our exclusive Beach Carnival. We can stay the night at a hotel of your choice or return to Colombo before midnight.
Water Sports Carnival in Bentota
We take a privately chartered train ride to Bentota, the water sports capital of Sri Lanka. We’re happy to provide a private air transfer as an option. You’ll find yourself in a music-filled water sports carnival that is created for you exclusively. This is no ordinary carnival, but a fun-filled day riding Jet-Skis, inflatable Giant Bananas, Tubes and other cool floating gadgets. Possible add-ons include for instance a Fashion Show, creative team-bonding games and a paramotoring experience.
Adventure Day in Kitulgala
A day full of excitement gives you a mix of White Water Rafting, River Sliding, Rock Pool Swimming, Canoeing and Rappelling down a beautiful waterfall. You get to visit some of the main filming locations of ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’ that won 7 Oscars in the 1950s’. The journey to Kitulgala can be arranged in a coach or done partly by chartered train.
Kandy Adventure
Although the former capital of Sri Lanka, Kandy, with all its sights and sounds, is already quite an experience; in this adventure, it is the journey that matters. Getting to Kandy can be arranged either in amphibian planes or historical trains. In Kandy you can choose to do a Canoe Regatta or a Rafting Competition. This is followed by a fun-filled city discovery challenge and an air rifle shooting competition. Your base for the day is a high-class property facing the Mahaweli River.
Whale Watching
We give the Galle City exploration a new twist. While hunting for a treasure with your team, you can more familiar with the architecture, culture and life in this exquisite city. Once you have found the treasure, you are all set to check-in to a pleasant hotel, where a party like no other awaits you. Early next morning, we take you out to the deep sea where you meet and greet the gentle giants that have inhabited the world’s oceans for millennia. When you’re done taking photographs and experiencing the blue whales, we return for lunch and depart to Colombo. This adventure can be shortened to a one-day programme as well.
Go-kart Formula Racing near Colombo
We book the entire Go-kart Arena just outside Colombo for your private use. We convert the arena into a thrilling challenge-filled track where you can race to your heart’s content. We run as many laps as needed until the final winner is announced. While you are taking a break from racing and cheering, there are many other fun games to take part in!
A Day of Horseback Riding in Chilaw
We bring well-kept horses and knowledgeable trainers exclusively for you to a scenic hotel in Chilaw. If you are already a veteran, you can choose to ride miles and miles on your own. If not, we teach you the basics and lay the foundation for you to become a top-notch rider in the future. Either way, this experience with these majestic awe-inspiring animals is a memorable one for each participant. According to your wishes we can expand your stay in Chilaw with an additional fun programme.
Hot Air Ballooning in Sigiriya
For this one, we travel all the way to the UNESCO world heritage site Sigiriya – either by coach, train or plane. You get to see the Lion Rock and the rest of the cultural triangle from the air just after sunrise. The Hot Air Balloon takes you to enjoy fantastic views and a champagne breakfast. The rest of the programme can be picked from options that include, for instance, a Treasure Hunt, experiences with locals in a traditional village and a safari with a large herd of elephants that number up to around 300.

Early in the morning we take you all the way to Kalpitiya for this exciting sea adventure. You have the opportunity to encounter dozens, maybe hundreds, sometimes thousands of wild dolphins! Ashore, a lovely barefoot luxury resort awaits you with its super brunch that easily goes on until late afternoon. In between dips in the ocean or swimming in the pool you get to enjoy a Beach Carnival atmosphere that we have arranged exclusively for your group. The best time for this adventure is between November and March.
Sailing Regatta in Mirissa
We take you to Galle or Mirissa to enjoy the exciting sport of Sailing. We will first learn the sport (unless you are already a pro) and then have a competition, dodging the waves of the Indian Ocean. In the evening we can either return to Colombo or retire to a beautiful hotel on the beach.
