Be honest.
Hands up if you imagine the concept of all inclusive to be similar to a cruise vacation? Smash that myth! That ship has sailed…the best all inclusive resorts are made for Millennials.
Best of the best
Booking an all inclusive break now is a million light years away from the all inclusive resorts of the past. Today, most folk love a bit of DIY, that is, vacation DIY. Research and choice is generally done online, the next vacation booked on an iPad during a coffee break. There’s so much choice, and operators have upped their game to stay ahead of the market. None more so than all inclusive vacation resorts, where the best continually strive to be better. Shrug off any preconceived ideas of boring buffets, older folk and budget breaks – just look at these best all inclusive resorts, bang up to date, and mostly attracting Millennials. Why? Ask Generation Y, the Net generation!
Online Millennials
A snapshot of Millennials would show us a generation who have grown up in an internet and electronics filled world – so they have received the most marketing attention, and are more clued-in tech-wise than any preceding generation. Millennials generally expect more, and with a confidence that sometimes spills over into entitlement. They want the best, they want it now, and they’re optimistic about getting it.
Business in general knows and nurtures this demographic, and the vacation industry is well aware that it’s shape up or ship out. All inclusive resorts are the perfect choice for Millennials, a resort with every whim under one roof is too good to resist, and the best all inclusive resorts have pushed the boat out. Feeling the hipster vibe? Let’s take a look inside…
