Voucher Program

We at Aster have been pioneering travel and travel related products and in this context we are privileged to introduce to you the Aster Travel vouchers. The Aster travel voucher is convenient, cost effective and flexible method of incentivizing employees and other stake holders. Incentives form a very critical component of today’s business scenario and is key to motivating concerned individuals. Aster has revolutionized this by launching the voucher program. Below is a list of frequently asked questions which throws more light on the voucher based program.

What are the most popular forms of incentivizing employees & other stake holders?
Cash, Consumer durables and Travel & Holidays are the most popular forms.

What are the key factors covered under the voucher ? Does it only include ticket cost OR does it include a total package cost which consists of tickets, accommodation etc?
Essentially the voucher based incentive program is a more convenient, cost effective and flexible option as compared to the group travel option. Here Aster will print vouchers in denominations , validity & value specified by the organisation. This in turn is presented to deserving stakeholders of the organisation be it employees, dealers, distributors etc. The vouchers are branded with the customer colours , name logo etc. and mentions that they have to be to be submitted to Aster for redemption in exchange for a holiday. Aster and the organisation pre agrees on the destination offered and the price along with inclusions. Normal inclusions are return economy class air ticket, accommodation with breakfast in 3 to 5 star hotels, transfers, all taxes, city tour. Depending on the organisation's budget this could be enhanced to sight seeing, all meals etc. The benefits to the organisation are - flexible way of rewarding stakeholders / entire coordination with end user by aster / no lump sum outflow of funds, organisation will only pay when Aster submits the vouchers as and when they are redeemed / ability to differentiate rewards either by value or destination and highly customisable / can be implemented pan India.

Benefits to the end user - Is not forced to travel with a group to a predefined destination / flexibility of choosing dates within the validity period / can choose any destination / can upgrade package by paying the difference.
