A Supply Chain Analysis of Incentive Travels: A Case of Thailand

In this paper, we explored supply chain structures and characteristics of the incentive travel industry, which is a special sector of the tourism and hospitality industry. Since the conceptual framework tailor-made for this sector cannot be found, we developed a generic model to outline key players and main operations such as collaborations and relationships between players in the supply chain. Then we verified the model with empirical data collected from the incentive travel industry in Thailand. A focus group discussion was organised to validated and contextualise the proposed framework. Four followed up in-depth interviews with incentive supply chain players in Thailand were conducted. Data were cross-validated using various data sources including private sector, public sector and educational institutes.
