EU is witnessing a resurgence of all-inclusive vacation packages

A growing number of vacation destinations are experiencing a surge in popularity due to the allure of all-inclusive offers. According to recent data, Greece, particularly Crete and Rhodes, Turkey (Antalya, Side, Alanya, and Belek regions), Spain (Mallorca and Ibiza), Egypt, the Maldives, and Dubai & Abu Dhabi are the top choices for travelers seeking an all-inclusive getaway.

Cancún, Mexico, has seen a 65% increase in search queries for all-inclusive vacations compared to last year, indicating a strong preference for this type of travel option. Classical destinations like Antalya, Dalaman, and Bodrum remain popular and lead the booking statistics, especially for summer vacations.

The Mediterranean destinations Zakynthos (+55%), Cyprus (+35%), and Sardinia (+25%) have also seen an increase in demand this summer season. Long-haul trips with all-inclusive options are also seeing a significant increase in popularity, with Mauritius (+30%) and Zanzibar (+20%) showing strong growth in search queries.

A survey conducted by the online travel provider Expedia revealed a growing preference for all-inclusive vacations among Germans. The survey showed that 41% see all-inclusive travel as a significant gain in comfort, while 42% appreciate the reduced organizational burden of all-inclusive vacations. In fact, 49% of the young travelers choose an all-inclusive hotel to avoid worrying about food on-site.

Interestingly, for the young target group (Generation Z), the desire for predictability and comfort is more important than price. This demographic is driving the trend of increased preference for all-inclusive vacations, with 61% of the Generation Z now preferring all-inclusive travel. Within the Generation Z, 30% report having a better opinion of all-inclusive offers than they did last year.

The survey also showed that almost half of the respondents (44%) prefer accommodations with full board. This preference for all-inclusive vacations has led to a more positive view of all-inclusive trips among Germans, with 21% of respondents now having a more positive view of all-inclusive trips than they did a year ago.

However, specific data for summer vacation bookings in all-inclusive destinations among Germans was not provided in the survey. It's worth noting that the paragraph does not mention any changes in the search queries for all-inclusive vacations in destinations other than Cancún, Mauritius, and Zanzibar. Additionally, the paragraph does not mention any specific all-inclusive accommodations or travel packages being popular in the Mediterranean destinations mentioned.

In conclusion, the trend towards all-inclusive vacations is on the rise, with travelers seeking the convenience, comfort, and predictability that these packages offer. Whether you're looking for a sunny getaway in the Mediterranean or a long-haul adventure, all-inclusive options are becoming increasingly popular for travelers of all ages.
