Not all destinations are created equal. Some are backed by centuries of geologic evolution, centuries of study, and decades of global cooperation to keep them intact.
UNESCO’s work in the sciences includes climate change, biodiversity, freshwater security, renewable energy, and more. But one of its most visible and accessible science-led programs is the World Network of Biosphere Reserves, sites around the world that combine conservation with sustainable development. They are places where science, nature, and people live in active balance.
For incentive planners, this presents a unique opportunity. What if your group dinner wasn’t just scenic, but tied to active conservation? What if your chosen resort supported a UNESCO-listed marine research program? What if your incentive escape gave your top performers a real sense of global responsibility?
Biosphere reserves aren’t remote academic hubs. They are living, accessible, breathtaking places, and many of them are already near top-tier incentive destinations.
Science doesn’t make a trip less inspiring. It makes it more meaningful.
