At a SITE Crystal Awards luncheon held recently in Las Vegas, the Fuji Xerox Top Tier programme, operated by Dragonfly Africa, was chosen as a 2011 Site Crystal Award winner in the category Best Destination Based Experiential Travel Program.

SITE (Society of Incentive Travel Executives) is a global network of meetings and event professionals dedicated to delivering business results. The highest levels of workplace performance are reached by individuals and teams that are highly motivated. Motivational experiences are a powerful business tool to reward and unlock human potential to achieve corporate objectives. SITE is the only global authority connecting motivational experiences with business results and serves as the source of expertise, knowledge and personal connections that will catapult and sustain professional growth, and help build the value of extraordinary motivational experiences worldwide.

This is a hugely prestigious award for South Africa and was accepted on Dragonfly Africa’s behalf by Mike Waller, Chief Executive Officer and Yolanda Woeke Jacobs, Director: Sales & Marketing. The SITE Crystal Awards are known as the “Oscars” of the Incentive Travel Industry and serve to honour top professionals and programs that recognize the power of connecting motivational experiences to solid business results. As the business climate and traditional “way of doing business” have evolved over the past years, so have the criteria and standards for motivational events.

There are only 7 Crystal Award categories:

• Most effective incentive marketing / promotion campaign
  • Most effective team effort in producing an incentive program or event
  • Best destination based experiential incentive travel program
  • Best in class by global region (Africa/Middle East, Asia/Pacific, Europe & The Americas)
  • Most outstanding single event within an incentive program
  • Most impactful effort toward corporate social responsibility as part of an incentive program
  • Most environmentally sustainable program
