Its September 2023 guide connects the options with recipients who want to spend reward value on a trip or activity rather than a physical item. Cruise and rail cards are one category, particularly where the journey is itself the experience. Holiday rental cards provide another route, allowing a recipient to choose a property and use it as a base for a longer stay. The guide also describes adventure packages centred on an activity such as ballooning, a driving experience or a guided visit. Depending on the product, the package may include accommodation, food or a guide as part of the booking. Spa and relaxation choices offer a different type of experience, from a single service to a resort visit. Ticketing gift cards can support concerts, sporting events and other entertainment that recipients may travel to attend. For outdoor travellers, Runa discusses booking options for camping and recreational-vehicle stays. In each case, the value is directed towards a category of experience while the recipient chooses the destination or date within the product's conditions. The article cites a 2021 [Accenture](https://giftcard.news/company/accenture/) survey in which 40% of respondents identified saving for a holiday as a financial priority for the following year. That research predates the September 2023 guide and is used as background to the discussion of experience-based rewards. For loyalty and recognition programme operators, Runa's recommendation is to consider a wider selection of travel uses when choosing reward content. The guide describes categories rather than announcing six newly launched Runa products. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Six Ways Travel Gift Cards Are Unlocking Adventure for Consumers](https://runa.io/blog/travel-gift-cards-are-unlocking-adventure-for-consumers?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — runa.io ## In this article ### Companies * [Accenture](https://giftcard.news/company/accenture/) * [Runa](https://giftcard.news/company/runa/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fruna-outlines-six-travel-gift-card-categories-for-rewards-catalogues-690edf0125c8%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Runa%20outlines%20six%20travel%20gift%20card%20categories%20for%20rewards%20catalogues "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fruna-outlines-six-travel-gift-card-categories-for-rewards-catalogues-690edf0125c8%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Runa%20outlines%20six%20travel%20gift%20card%20categories%20for%20rewards%20catalogues%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fruna-outlines-six-travel-gift-card-categories-for-rewards-catalogues-690edf0125c8%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Emma Carter](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/emma-carter-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Emma Carter](https://giftcard.news/author/emma-carter/) Journalist — Retail & E-commerce Emma Carter covers retail, e-commerce and the gift card shopping experience for Gift Card News.
