The IncentiveTrips Indices
Live data instruments for incentive travel.
We turn the movements of the incentive-travel market into composite indices — single, comparable numbers you can track, chart, and cite. Neutral by design: nothing here can be bought.
The Incentive Travel Demand Index
Planner demand for incentive travel, in one number — indexed to a trailing-year baseline of 100.
The Heat / Cost Quadrant
Every Index destination plotted by rising demand against what it costs to get a group there. The top-right, low-cost corner — rising and still affordable — is where a sharp planner looks first.
Each dot is a destination; cost is estimated as average US round-trip airfare plus four nights at a group-caliber property. Gold dots sit in the sweet spot: above-median momentum, below-median cost.
In development
More composites are compiling as their underlying data deepens. We publish an index only when the history behind it is real.
The Budget Stretch Index
Per-destination: how much further a program dollar goes than a year ago, from airfare, hotel, and currency movement. Compiling fare and FX history now.
The Air Pressure Gauge
A leading read on whether to book now or wait — jet fuel, US air throughput, and fare momentum in one gauge.
