EU sees a resurgence in all-inclusive vacation packages

A growing trend for summer vacations is the increasing interest in holiday homes as an affordable option for families, even at short notice. This shift is primarily driven by Generation Z (18-29-year-olds), with 30% holding a more favourable view of all-inclusive offers and 61% considering it their preferred travel option.

The appeal of all-inclusive holidays lies in several factors. For instance, 42% appreciate the reduced organizational burden, while 44% prefer accommodations with full board. Moreover, 41% find all-inclusive travel to be a significant increase in comfort.

The destinations seeing a rise in interest for all-inclusive travel include Mauritius (+30%) and Zanzibar (+20%). In the Mediterranean region, demand is high, with Zakynthos (+55 percent), Cyprus (+35 percent), and Sardinia (+25 percent) seeing increased interest this summer season.

Classical destinations like Antalya, Dalaman, and Bodrum remain popular and top the booking statistics, especially for summer vacations. Interestingly, the Mediterranean region is the most preferred all-inclusive holiday destination for Generation Z people living in Germany. Destinations like Mallorca, the Adriatic, and other Mediterranean cruise routes offered by companies such as AIDA are favoured for their all-inclusive packages and variety of travel options.

Expedia conducted a survey showing a 21% increase in Germans with a more positive attitude towards all-inclusive vacations compared to a year ago. Susanne Dopp, spokesperson for Expedia, stated that many young people prioritize the feeling of not having to worry about anything during vacation, which they associate with modern luxury.

Long-haul trips with all-inclusive options are also on the rise, with interest in Cancun, Mexico, increasing by 65% compared to last year. However, the growth of long-haul trips with all-inclusive options outside of Cancun, Mexico, was not specified in the provided text.

It's important to note that the text does not provide information on the growth of all-inclusive vacations outside of the Mediterranean region, the top 10 camping destinations for 2025, or how to have a stress-free vacation with a dog.

In conclusion, all-inclusive holidays are becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger generations, who value the convenience and comfort they offer. The Mediterranean region, in particular, is seeing a surge in interest for all-inclusive travel.
