Value score
There is no single price tag on an incentive program — but there is a defensible starting point. For Costa Rica (Guanacaste), the two biggest line items are airfare and hotel, and the IncentiveTrips Destination Index tracks both live. Round-trip airfare from major US gateways currently benchmarks around $555 per person, and group-caliber properties run near $550 per room, per night. Those are directional benchmarks, not quotes — a signed program depends on group size, dates, and how hard your buyer negotiates.
What moves the number most, in order of impact:
- Season. Costa Rica (Guanacaste)'s value windows cluster around Dec–Apr. Booking into peak inflates every line.
- Air origin. A single-connection routing from a hub city lands far below a fragmented, multi-city manifest — consolidate origins where you can.
- Group size. Costa Rica (Guanacaste) fits programs of 25–200 guests — the per-head rate usually improves with scale and full or partial buyouts.
- Inclusions. Off-sites, ground, production, and gifting are where budgets quietly balloon. Scope them before you commit to a destination.
Benchmarks are drawn from the IncentiveTrips Destination Index, refreshed weekly. They are directional planning figures, not quotes.
