Although the budget has stagnated and the price rises, it is expected that the incentives will play a miracle again in 2025 to achieve the luxury level expected by the pre -candidates.
It sounds like 2024.
“In 2025, Stephanie Harris, president of the Study Foundation (IRF), said:” In 2025, most plan owners will continue to face the same difficult choice in the reward budget. ” The priority of leadership and plan participants is a key guide. “
The focus of IRF’s new 2025 incentive trend report is the five trends of budget -driven:
1. The attractiveness of all -inclusive and parade is increasing
According to IRF participants’ preferences, 75 % of the qualifiers were excited about cruise, and 79 % of the qualifiers interested in the All -inclusive Resort.
Both options provide more control and certainty for the planner, and some Caribbean Cruises have excellent value.
Kate Postle, the business development manager of Bucom International, said: “The purpose of incentives is to reward and appreciate the best performance. You hope they have an unforgettable and carefree experience.” “The full packaging achieves this goal, and also Eliminate the need for additional steps for allowances or repayment allowances or reimbursement. “
2. Value destination in the focus
Harris said that budget dynamics also led to more planners seeking value destinations. “It is expected that in the first half of 2025, the US domestic air tickets will rise 5 % to 10 %, but the international fare of some air polymers softened, which will also affect the destination choice.”
According to the inspiration company BrightSpot, the two highest value destinations in 2025 were expanded rapidly by Portugal and Mexico’s Playa Mujers region. Joost de Meyer, CEO, inspired the travel for the first time. On the 2025 list, Mexico and the Caribbean Sea were listed, especially short travels, because fast flights and accommodations afforded.
3. Change of commodity expenditure
Products are the areas where budgets can be easily adjusted. In the past year, North America has planned to reduce commodity incentives and live gifts, and spent more money to replace expensive electronic products within the range of 50 to 100.
According to the incentive travel index in 2024, one of the highest cost reduction measures planned in 2025 is planned.
4. Gift card sect
Gift cards are popular due to its scalability. In 2024, the average gift card expenditure per person in North America fell to $ 142, 7 % less than in 2023. This decline reflects the transition to smaller surfaces, and now there are $ 50 and $ 100 gift cards now account for half of all distribution.
5. Non -determined time incentive measures
With the change of the labor market and the increase of layoffs, the company will turn attention to points -based plans. “When uncertainty is emerging in the job market at any time, it is possible to get out of contact between talents.” “Enhanced its value through rewards and recognition, it can help you maintain the participation of valuable performers. ”
