INCENTIVE TRAVEL
Hemisphere is a company that has been extremely successful in developing and implementing performance improvement programs for its clients using non-cash awards. Yet, whenever people are asked what award they would like to see in an incentive program, the answer is invariably cash. So why do companies like Hemisphere, using merchandise and travel awards, continue to exist, and grow?
Many of the answers compare cash and non-cash awards. Both have their place in effective compensation and reward plans. Hemisphere can help you determine where non-cash awards can improve the performance of your employees, distributors or dealers.
Both cash and non-cash awards have a place in the employee's compensation mix.
Everyone on the surface prefers cash. (No one will say, "Don't give me any more money.") The reality is, however, that cash can be an ineffective motivator. Although it can satisfy certain monetary demands, it does not energize people to reach beyond their basic job requirements.
The basic monetary needs of security and physical comfort must be adequately met with an employee's income before non-cash incentives are effective motivators.
Once subsistence needs are met with cash income, the need for psychic income (social acceptance, personal esteem and self realization) takes precedence.
Nationwide, employee surveys consistently say that what people really want is to be recognized for making a contribution to the job. Because of their nature, non-cash awards have intrinsic recognition value. They put the recognition back into the reward.

Our international agents provide some of the best fare expertise in the business, specializing in "Around the World" fares, which can save your company thousands of dollars on all types of tickets, including Business and First Class.
Unlike other agencies that rely on airline rate desks, Hemisphere Travel have it's own in-house rate desk for complex international itineraries. Each itinerary is analyzed and compared to the fares as they are priced by the various airlines and in most cases, a saving of 5-35% can be realized. Our International Team can also:
- Utilize upgrade programs we have in place with several major international carriers that allow our clients the space and peace they need at a price that will not deplete their travel budget.
- Inform your international travelers of the necessary documents needed to enter a specific country.
- Assist your travelers in obtaining rush passports and visas on short notice. Our visa service has offices in 7 cities nationwide to suit almost any visa or passport requests.
- State Department information
- Discount International fares
ON SITE SERVICE
For corporations with an air travel budget of $1 million or more, Hemisphere offers the option of utilizing an onsite travel department. This configuration places an experienced travel agent directly on your corporate premises, giving your employees the convenience of speaking face-to-face with their travel agent.
Your onsite agent would have the ability to check fares, make reservations, and print tickets on an STP ticket printer, which would be housed at your corporate location with your company logo and company information.
The agent becomes just like another employee, only they remain on Hemisphere's payroll, and of course we're responsible for covering them when they're sick or on vacation.
