One Price Fits All

While the economy has been in a downturn,  and the travel industry overall has suffered, one segment has still done quite well.  All-inclusive travel providers have been among the big winners in the past year.

Cruising is one of the best examples of all inclusive vacation deals.  With fares generally including all meals, entertainment and even tips, cruising is a great way to budget travel funds. P&O is actually doubling its Australian fleet to meet increased demand, while Royal Caribbean says its bookings are up about a third over last year. Club Med’s all-inclusive packages have experienced double-digit growth, along with a massive 200 percent surge in advance bookings for its recently renovated Bali resort.

The reason?  All-inclusive pricing equates to easy budgeting and takes away the risk of currency fluctuations.

Although there are limited all-inclusive vacation options,  many top resorts offer optional, pre-paid meal packages that represent a good value.

If you are planning a business meeting, or business incentive travel, you should consider the all inclusive options availalbe, such as cruise meetings.
