Before founding Cascadia Motivation, our ownership group was involved in the manufacturing and distribution industry, where we used various incentives within our own business for our customers and employees.

In so doing, we learned first-hand the value of incentive-based programs in building business relationships and motivating people.

We began to ask ourselves: If this works for us, wouldn’t it work for other companies? Could we help them use our methods to get the results we did?

In 1984, we began to answer that question by founding Cascadia Motivation (then called Carlson Tours and Incentive Travel Ltd.). Since then we have continuously innovated and grown, becoming a trusted leader within our industry.

Unlike in larger corporations, Cascadia’s principals are actively and personally involved in the business. This hands-on management style allows us to create one-of-a kind programs. We bring over 100 years of combined experience in the performance improvement industry to every client we serve.

Cascadia Motivation is a privately held corporation registered in the province of Alberta. We serve companies across Canada and the United States.

Global travel is sure to look different in the years ahead, and this poses challenges for the travel industry. However, over the past three decades of delivering complex travel programs and events, we’ve developed a lot of problem-solving and creative-thinking skills that will serve us well as we move forward.

We’ve earned our reputation for excellence, reliability and innovation because we’ve always sought out new ways to help our clients strengthen their businesses and become more successful. Now, more than ever, we remain committed to being prepared and planning ahead on our clients’ behalf.
