About AIT

Creative planners. Seasoned travelers. Since 1990.

Advanced Incentive Travel was built on a simple idea: the right trip can motivate a team like nothing else. We’re event planners, travel specialists, air and ticketing experts and lifelong travelers, and we put all of it into every program we run.

Our first incentive trip took a group to Lake Tahoe in 1990. Since then we’ve hosted hundreds of trips, meetings and events all over the world, and many of our clients have been with us for years.
