Tahitian Noni International: Takes Hundreds to Tahiti in Annual Outrigger Event
 Picking the noni |
All-expenses-paid week in Tahiti is the trip of a lifetime.
In November 2010, Tahitian Noni International (TNI) gathered some of its most dedicated Independent Product Consultants (IPCs) and sent them to the pristine islands of French Polynesia with one goal: to see the origins of Tahitian Noni International and to expand their vision. The Outrigger trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not only be rewarded for meeting specific business qualifications, but also to see just how Tahitian Noni International changes lives and how the noni fruit has been changing lives for thousands of years.
For those who qualify, Outrigger is a one week, all-expenses-paid trip to the islands of Tahiti, where guests enjoy exquisite beauty, royal treatment and loads of fun in the sun. IPCs get to see for themselves the Tahitian Noni processing facility and groves of noni trees, where noni fruit is picked and harvested. They also get to enjoy time on the beach, exquisite banquets, Polynesian shows, special entertainment, museums, hay rides, traditional Tahitian storytellers and more. IPCs are always impressed with the “legend of the noni or functional fruit,” as told by traditional storytellers, where native Polynesians express their love of the noni fruit and demonstrate some traditional healing remedies used in the home.
Jeff Wasden, TNI’s Vice President of Global Marketing, called the all-expenses-paid trip an important investment. “We make this investment in our IPCs because it changes them,” he said. “They forge a stronger connection to our company and our products by being here in Tahiti and this experience changes their businesses and their lives.” TNI has now taken almost 6,000 people to Tahiti.
