All-inclusive resorts in Europe are different -- here's how

Earlier in this season, we talked about the popularity and trends surrounding all-inclusive resorts. But some listeners – advisors and travelers alike – may not know there’s a growing all-inclusive market in Europe. And the resorts are different from the traditional inclusive properties in Punta Cana or Cancun. On this episode, host Rebecca Tobin and hotels editor Christina Jelski brought together three advisors -- Abbey Meyer, cofounder of Sky High Travel Advisors, Heather Huber, an advisor with Vincent Vacations; and Lynnette Pena, independent travel advisor with CS Elements Travel -- with whom she traveled to Mallorca, Spain, to see two all-inclusive resorts under the Secrets and Zoetry brands. We discuss the differences between those resorts and the traditional product; plus the difference between the Secrets and Zoetry. Who might be the best client, and why?  This episode was recorded Monday, Oct. 7, and has been edited for length and clarity.  Episode sponsor This episode is sponsored by AmaWaterways https://www.amawaterways.com Stay on at the end of his episode for an interview with AmaWaterways' Michal Maguire, vice president of marketing, conducted by Mary Pat Sullivan, the executive vice president of marketing and brand partnerships for Travel Weekly.  Related reports Hyatt is counting on advisors to promote Europe all-inclusives to Americans https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Hotel-News/Hyatt-promotion-Europe-all-inclusives After a demand boom for all-inclusives, signs point to a slowdown https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Hotel-News/Slowdown-all-inclusive-demand AMResorts showcases its stable of European all-inclusives (from 2022) https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Hotel-News/AMResorts-showcases-Europe-all-inclusives    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
