The Destination Index — by departure city

The Best Incentive Travel Destinations from Delhi

The IncentiveTrips Destination Index re-ranked for programs departing Delhi (DEL). Fares are city-specific modeled ballparks — the published distance curve priced from DEL — and reachability draws from the Asia-Pacific row; the four origin-independent pillars — momentum, safety, infrastructure, and planner fit — are unchanged. The global Index remains the canonical ranking; this is the same math, priced from Delhi.

Fares are modeled round-trip ballparks from Delhi (DEL), not live quotes. “vs global” is each destination's move against its position on the global Destination Index.

How this ranking works

Only the two pillars that genuinely depend on where attendees fly from are re-scored. Value shifts with the fare difference between the US-blend baseline and this origin; air access blends each destination's global nonstop coverage with a published origin-to-region reachability score. Both adjustments flow into the composite at the Index's published pillar weights — value 15%, air access 20%.

  • value_o = value + 20 · (fare_US − fare_origin) / max(fare_US, 300), capped ±20
  • air_o = 0.5 · air_access + 0.5 · reach(origin → region)
  • total_o = total + 0.15 · Δvalue + 0.20 · Δair
  • fare = $118 + 0.913 · d^0.75, anchored per destination
  • city fares: fare = ($118 + 0.9127 · d^0.75) × destination anchor, d = great-circle km from DEL

Fares come from a distance-based model anchored to each destination — modeled ballparks, not live quotes. Every input is published; no destination pays to be ranked. The global Destination Index is the canonical standing.
