7 Occasions to Gift in Tourism and Corporate Life

In a world of fast bookings and full inboxes, it’s easy to forget the human side of business and travel. At Manaaki Touch, we believe that the right gift, at the right moment, creates loyalty, emotion, and lasting impact — especially when it’s unexpected.

Here are 7 key moments in tourism and corporate life that deserve thoughtful gifting.

1. After a Special Guest Experience

🎯 For: Hotels, lodges, or luxury tours. Send a curated box after a honeymoon, milestone birthday or once-in-a-lifetime adventure. It extends the emotional memory beyond checkout.

2. Welcoming a New Corporate Client

🎯 For: Sales teams, account managers, real estate agents. A branded, locally made gift box says “We’re excited to work with you” — and makes your company unforgettable from day one.

3. After a Business Event or Conference

🎯 For: Event planners, hotels, DMCs. Offer curated gifts to speakers, VIPs or partners after events. It’s a touch of gratitude that boosts your professional reputation.

4. Pre-Arrival Welcome for International Guests

🎯 For: Luxury travel operators, inbound agencies. A gift that awaits them at check-in or in their hotel room adds personalisation to high-end travel.

5. Employee Wellness & Motivation Boosts

🎯 For: HR departments, small business owners. Send a "just because" box to someone going through a busy season — it shows care and prevents burnout.

6. Celebrating Small Wins

🎯 For: Team leaders, managers, clients. Did your client close a small deal? Did an agent get their first booking? Celebrate the quiet wins — they add up to loyalty.

7. Reconnecting With Past Clients or Partners

🎯 For: Businesses who value long-term relationships. A seasonal or anniversary gift is a gentle way to reignite a dormant connection with elegance and meaning.
