The Incentivist is delighted to announce a new collaboration with US-based ANDARÉ INCENTIVES effective immediately.

Shirley Hutchins, founder of Andaré Incentives, will be contributing a monthly column to The Incentivist, exploring MICE destinations’ itineraries.

Created by planners for planners, Andaré provides a comprehensive hotel guide for the luxury travel and MICE markets. It includes not just listings for global luxury hotels, but also activities and venues for incentive travel programs around those hotels.

When The Incentivist publisher, Alanna McQuaid, met Shirley Hutchins, they recognized immediately the compatibility of the two companies and agreed that a collaboration would be a sympatico union born of similar style, purpose, and value for the incentive travel market.

“We are excited to work with Shirley and her team at Andaré. Via our website and newsletter, The Incentivist offers well-curated industry news, in-depth exploration of destinations, FAM trips and recaps, and a global events calendar. Now with Andaré, we will offer access to an exceptional industry hotel guide and resource for today’s web-savvy incentive travel and global events planners,” said McQuaid.

Hutchins said, “I very much appreciate the news and destination information that The Incentivist compiles for the industry. With this new collaboration, Andaré brings an expertly curated hotel guide that will further enhance the planners’ ability to quickly access information and inspiration with all the essentials necessary to plan group incentive travel. I am delighted to contribute a monthly column to The Incentivist and share unique and insightful destination itineraries.”
