There's been a rise in demand for all-inclusive resorts, which have gotten more numerous -- and upscale -- in recent years. But in a recent story, hotels editor Christina Jelski reported that at Hyatt, a major player in the market, growth in revenue per available room for its all-inclusive properties slowed in Q2. And we heard from executives from Hyatt to Sandals that demand is moderating or normalizing as the postpandemic travel boom begins to ebb.
What's happening for all-inclusives, and what should advisors and travelers expect next? Host Rebecca Tobin talks about his vacation category with Jelski and Geoff Millar, co-owner of Ultimate All-Inclusive Vacations and Ultimate Hawaii Vacations.
