ResearchInstrument Inquantitativeresearch,questionnaireisoneofthemostappropriatedatacollection tools and it is also one of the effective tools. The questionnaire consists four parts: personal information, eight factors of incentive travel that impact on purchase intention, purchase intentionandopen–endedanswers.The resultof the Indexesofobjectivecongruence(IOC)evaluationfromthreeexpertsshowthattherewere15itemswithanaveragescorelowerthan0.5.Therefore,theresultsweredeletedandadaptedsimilarwordswithinonesentence.Finally,thereareonly40itemsleftinthequestionnairetobeevaluatedbytherespondents. Importantly,30copiesofquestionnaireswerecollected fromA insuranceagentasthepilotstudy forcheckingthereliability.Theresultof theCronbach’sAlpha (α )ofeachfactorwasfrom0.732to0.949.Thus,eachitemofthequestionnairecouldbeusedtocollectthedatafrom400respondents.Therefore,theCronbach’sAlphaofthis questionnaire isexcellent (.922).Remarkably,whileahighvalue forCronbach’sAlpha illustrates good internal consistency of the items in the scale. Datacollection Questionnairewas theonlydatacollection tool in this study.Thequestionnairesweredirectlydistributed toA insuranceagent inBangkok,Thailandby the researchertomakesurethatallquestionnaireswerewellcompleted.Asa result, therewere400 questionnaires which were used for the data analysis. Dataanalysis To answer to the objectives of the study, descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage,meanandstandarddeviation (SD);andmultiple regressionanalysiswere employedbyrunningtheelectronicprogram.VarianceInflationFactor(VIF)andTolerance are commonly used to verify themulticollinearity problem (Jang& Topal, 2013). AccordingtoJang&Topal(2013),ifthevalueofVIFoverfive(VIF>5),themodelindicatesstrongmulticollinearityproblemand if the tolerancevalue is less than0.1 (Tolerance<0.1), there ismulticollinearityproblemrelatedthemodel.Thesimplesolutionof the multicollinearityproblem is thedeletionof the suspiciousvariable. Finally,multiple regression analysis was run for predicting purchase intention of insurance agents.

The results of this study illustrated eight factors of incentive travel including attraction, facility, accessibility, destination image, price, safety, service and promotion have positiveinfluenceonpurchaseintentionwithinsurancecompany.Interestingly,thereareonly four factors that can be used to predict purchase intention with insurance company. The highest ranked score is promotion, destination image, attractions and service, respectively.Intermsofpersonalinformation’sresults,researcherwillcollectedthesedatain order to analyzed and created new route to promote with insurance company. Tosumup,thefindingimplythatinsurancecompanyshouldimprovepromotion that refer to the ways to communicate and delivery information to employees in the organization.AllofDestinationManagementCompany (DMCs), travelagents, insurancecompany should be interesting on destination image that focus on reputation, cleanliness and uniqueness of each destination, and attraction should be combine three feature that consistswithnatural,cultural,human–madeandspecialeventwithin incentive travel programinordertousetomotivatetheemployeetoachievethecompany’sgoal.
RecommendationsforFutureResearch Havinganalyzedthisstudy,Iwouldliketosuggestthefollowingrecommendations for future study: First,inthisstudy,theresearcherusedmultipleregressionanalysis.ThefuturestudyshouldbeanalyzedbyusingConfirmatoryFactorAnalysis(CFA). Second, this study was used quantitative method. Thus, the future study should applyqualitativemethodtoconfirmthisstudy. Third, in this studyquantitative approachwas insurance company; therefore, thefuturestudyshouldapplymixedmethodapproaches.Thestudy isabout insurancecompany,soqualitativeapproachbyusingin–depthinterviewwillbebeneficialtogetrichof information from the participants on the topic. Fourth, thisstudy is thecasestudy inthecontextof insurancecompanywhich isonly one part of business. Hence, future research should focus on more industries which provide incentive travel to motivate their employee such as automobile, electronics, furniture and household equipment, information technology, cosmetics and toiletries, farmequipment,officeequipment,etc. Fifth,canbetheorganizationthink intermsoftotalrewardsandnot justfinancial rewards. The organization needed to develop employee engagement resources that are directed toward work environment or organization climate, work life balance and the nature of the job and quality of the work, and career opportunities. Finally,inthisstudy,researchercollecteddatafrominsurancecompanyonly,soitwould be interesting if the future researches are conducted by collecting the data from bothorganization(motivator)andagency(achiever).
