New Study Shows Incentive Travel Booming

According to a study released by the Incentive Federation at the Motivation Show in Chicago, approximately $13.4 billion was spent on incentive travel programs in one year. “The incentive industry is booming,” said Frank Katusak, Incentive Federation Board Chairman. “What’s particularly exciting about the results—besides the dollar figure—is that incentive end user executives view incentives as an investment rather than a cost because they can quickly and easily measure the financial return of these initiatives.”
 GFK, the fourth largest marketing research organization in the world. GfK conducted telephone interviews with executives responsible for the development and budgeting of incentive travel incentives. In total, 1,121 executives were interviewed.
Among the key findings:
* 20 percent of U.S. companies use travel incentives.
* Incentive travel is seen as an investment by 85 percent of companies with revenues over $100 million.
* The average budget for travel incentives was $164,271.
* More than 75 percent of incentive travel end users spent between $100,000 and $500,000.
* More than half of large companies stated their budgets for incentive travel have increased over the past two years and believe they will continue to increase over the next two years, while almost one third say they have remained the same.

Why should I offer a travel incentive instead of monetary incentives?

Studies show that monetary incentives do not motivate as well as non-monetary incentives and monetary rewards have less lasting value. It has been found that it would take double the money to make a reward as worthwhile as any other incentive reward. 66% of executives believe that travel and merchandise incentive programs are more memorable than those using money; and 60% of executives believe that creating an incentive program is easier with travel and merchandise incentives rather than monetary incentives. Travel rewards work best when companies want to set apart the incentive program from monetary compensation so that the reward system does not become expected. There will be a greater impact on your employees if the recognition value for your awards are high. Not only can you offer travel incentives to your employees, but also to your top customers. For example, group travel can be arranged for the first 50 customers to buy a new product or the top 20 repeat customers
 

How can I apply these different travel incentives?

There are many ways in which Travel Incentive Programs can be applied to your company. Some of the suggested applications are:
 

  • Recognition of key employees

  • Sales incentives

  • Consumer appreciation

  • Customer promotions

  • Special prizes

  • Outstanding customer service

  • Hiring bonuses

  • Retirement gifts
