As Kelsey noted, Coastline Events, Inc. team members are eligible for a number of travel opportunities throughout the year. “We often send qualified associates to leadership conferences, annual retreats, and even cross-training sessions in other regions,” she explained. “There are times we all travel as a team to different events.”

According to Kelsey, associates develop many skills as a result of this travel. “First, they master time management skills, as travel requires that they pace themselves and plan their schedules carefully,” she noted.

“Our team always seems to grow closer when they venture to new locations together,” she added. “There’s something about sharing new experiences and breaking away from daily routines that helps build stronger bonds and firmer trust. This fosters more collaboration. It also spurs more innovation and creativity because associates are inspired by the knowledge they’re acquiring and the unique atmosphere to which they’re exposed.” 

Kelsey stated that the break from the office also leads to improved productivity when associates return. “Their performance and efficiencies are much improved,” she said. “It’s certainly worth the investment.”

Coastline Events, Inc.’s Managers Share Tips for Travel

With multiple business trips under their belts, the Coastline Events, Inc. professionals have acquired several tips to enhance travel experiences. “We’re big on planning here at Coastline Events, Inc.,” Kelsey noted. “We use technology like Seatguru.com to help us select the optimum seats on any aircraft.”

Dressing well is another tip that Kelsey believes is important for travelers to keep in mind. “Too many people traveling the friendly skies or rails dress as if they’re ready to go to the gym,” she observed. “However, it’s a known fact that airlines tend to cater more to those who dress professionally. While you don’t have to wear formal suits, do make an effort to look neat instead of rumpled. There are plenty of comfortable ensembles that will allow you to appear tailored.”

Finally, preparation means keeping information such as customer service numbers for airlines and transportation handy, in case of unforeseen delays. “As soon as there is a hint of trouble, such as a cancelled flight, be ready to contact the airline immediately so that you’re able to be reassigned to the next possible flight.”

As Kelsey concluded, “We’re fortunate here to have a team that recognizes the value in company business travel. I would say for certain that we are richer from the experience in more ways than one.”
