In April, the direct sales giant Amway organized the largest incentive program ever held in Australia. In total, 16,000 delegates from all over Asia visited Melbourne in six waves of 2,000 and 3000 people for five days each, spending approximately $ 100 million.

“Culturally we are also highly enabled for technology and trust social networks and mouth recommendations, which makes this business model attractive in our region.”
As with other industries, direct sales incentives trips are levels, with differentiating programs for the best artists of the president and the second level president club. Destiny is the main raffle for potential qualifiers. Recognition on stage is also an important driver for the best artists.
Mass scale and energy
But that is where the similarities end, said Tom Wilson, Vice President of Development of the Group in Maritz. “The main difference is that most incentive trips in other sectors are a volume combination and plans based on objectives, while the direct sales space is more about volume, recruitment metrics and construction of a downstream pipe.
Eileen Lee, Senior Vice President, America, Singapore Tourism Board, knows well the direct sales incentive programs, after having hosted 500 Nuskin attendees in 2024, as well as in retirement of the president of Asia Pacific of Herbalife Nutrition. Herbalife will return to Singapore with his extravagance APAC of 25,000 people in 2026.
“These programs stand out from the rest due to their scale and energy,” he said. “They see not only cities but also regions and countries that are equipped to handle large steps and sacrifice a wide variety of experiences.”
The trips can be deeply rooted in the cultures of their organizations. “Many in the United States are based on faith, and the founders are seen as internal celebrities,” said Melissa Van Dyke, senior vice president of marketing and innovation integrated in Creative Group.
“Older organizations exhibit deeper generational structures,” he said. “For example, a company with 10 original founders and a 30 -year history may need content and space dedicated to the extended network of each founder.”
It is not your mother’s incentive
While the old generations of winners saw the annual incentive trip as an opportunity to escape home, families are part of an increasing number of travel today. “There is an increasing emphasis on ‘Layer Experiences’: activities involved that satisfy various interests and demography,” Lee said. “This change reflects the recognition that thesis trips are not only professional achievements but also to enrich personal connections.”
The greatest changes are yet, experts say, as direct sales companies move away from the old model.

This is attracting more millennials and gen zers, university students and young parents looking for an additional source of income. Sellers, who now include bloggers and influential, are using social networks, Facebook Live and Zoom to market people around the world.
To boost sales among this new group, “these incentive programs must accommodate a wide range of preferences, needs and ages,” said Van Dyke.
