Thorne Bay, Alaska (April 15, 2010) — Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge has teamed up with Beyond Meetings & Incentives and Basketball Hall-of-Famer, Rick Barry, to introduce a unique incentive travel package: Ultimate Team Fishing. This experience will be hosted by Rick Barry at the Orvis-endorsed adventure lodge on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.
The event is primarily designed for organizations to promote relationship building with colleagues, teach teamwork, and improve communication skills in the workplace. The intended outcome is to create more enjoyable working relationships, as well as help team members learn more about themselves. The experience will be tailored to fit the group or organizational culture. Equally important, this trip will reward participants with an opportunity to create lifetime memories in an Alaska wilderness setting.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge,” said Robert Turnauckas, owner and founder of Beyond Meetings & Incentives (BMI). “What better location to host team building and communications than a rustic Alaskan lodge along America’s last frontier. The setting alone lends to an atmosphere of camaraderie and cooperation. It’s what we strive for — a world-class meeting destination to exceed our client’s expectations.”
In addition to the group exercises, there will be plenty of time to get on the water. The oceanfront location of Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge offers both fresh and saltwater fishing action with a staff of professional guides and captains. Participants will also hear about Rick Barry’s extraordinary journey that led him to the Hall of Fame and get time for photo opportunities with Rick.
