There is no single price tag on an incentive program — but there is a defensible starting point. For Koh Samui, 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 $1,405 per person. 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. Shoulder-season dates change the math materially. 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. Larger groups unlock buyout leverage — 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.
