Annette Gregg, CEO, SITE and SITE Foundation, said: “Congratulations to this year’s winners and recognized organizations. Each programme reflects the skill, care, and leadership that keeps incentive travel evolving, from creative design and operational excellence to measurable impact for people, businesses, and destinations. These honors set a clear standard for what best in class looks like in our industry.”
“Ever since my first visit to Ladakh a few years ago, I have vowed to bring an incentive here one day. To have operated the first-ever international incentive to this unique, untouched destination required not only confidence and guts but also tremendous trust from our client and partners. This is the ultimate case study of teamwork making magic happen. I cried on the way out, not only because I had achieved my personal dream, but also because I was proud to put this destination on the map for more to come. This is true incentive travel,” said Rajeev Kohli, Joint Managing Director at Creative Travel and 2026 Crystal Award winner.
