Are all-inclusives spreading beyond the Caribbean? “There’s an ever-increasing range of destinations to choose from. Historically, areas that perform well are those without established local resort centres like the Maldives, Caribbean, Sharm El Sheikh and Turkey. The Canaries and Balearics are also strong, but Sharm El Sheikh is offering the best value now.
Is the all-inclusive concept moving more upmarket?
“The quality of all-inclusive is improving all the time. The market is reaching its peak and there is still growth but not at the rate we have experienced in the last 10 years. An
increasingly popular trend is the ‘ultra all inclusive’ option which provides guests with even better activities and facilities.
When does your next all-
inclusive programme go on sale? “We offer an all-inclusive programme which operates year-round and the latest one will go on sale in July. It will be offering a range of options for winter 2013/14 and on into summer 2014.”
