What do you think about change? Is it:  a) scary, b) annoying, or  c) good? It’s human nature to resist change – the fear of the unknown and all. But observe the laws of nature and you’ll agree that c) change is very, very good.  Change leads to growth while stagnation leads to….well, death. If you’re used to planning land-based meetings and incentives, a program at sea might seem like a giant leap into the unknown. But fear not – the time for change is now!

In the latest issue of  Meetings South Magazine, writer Maria Lenhart examines cruise incentives and interviews a few meeting professionals -  including Seasite CEO Jo Kling – to uncover the differences between land-based and cruise ship programs.

Here are a few of Jo’s observations from Ms. Lenhart’s article “Cruise Control”:

When you cut back on a hotel program, it’s really visible – attendees can see that there is no breakfast buffet, ” she says. “But with a cruise program you don’t cut back on anything, you’re providing more. Attendees can order anything they want in a beautiful dining room, not in a naked ballroom that you have to dress up. The food, the audiovisual, the decor, the entertainment is all included.”
