The All-Inclusive Trend: Exploring Hilton Resorts

These days, travelers are searching for easy, stress-free experiences — and turning to all-inclusive properties around the world for their romantic getaways and family vacations. iBestTravel explored the growing all-inclusive hotel trend with Nicole Tilzer, vice president of all-inclusive and resort strategy for Hilton. “There’s a growing interest in all-inclusive, and we’re meeting the demand by growing thoughtfully into that space,” says Tilzer.

The Rise of All-Inclusive Resorts

“Hilton’s global trends report found that 56 percent of respondents are most concerned about having an effortless travel experience,” Tilzer said. “Choosing an all-inclusive resort is a worry-free way to travel, requiring minimal effort and planning. All-inclusive options cater to travelers of all ages and interests, offering a variety of activities, entertainment options, culinary adventures, and cultural experiences that bring the destination to life, all without the need to leave the resort.”

Understanding the Appeal

Travel advisor Patti Alejos of Classic Vacations points out that these resorts are often destinations in themselves due to the wide range of included amenities. “For a family vacation, especially, it’s ideal to have everything needed in one location. Everybody can engage in activities they enjoy,” says Alejos.

Hilton’s Commitment to Quality

With all-inclusive vacations on the rise, more Hilton Honors members are taking advantage of their points for all-inclusive stays. “We’re observing an increase in overall reward nights occurring in Hilton’s all-inclusive portfolio from this time last year,” Tilzer indicated.

Members who utilize preferred Hilton channels can also experience a variety of benefits, including “a flexible payment slider that enables members to choose nearly any combination of points and money to book their stay, exclusive discounts, and complimentary standard Wi-Fi,” says Tilzer. Additional perks include discounted spa treatments and the contactless features offered through the Hilton Honors app.

Moreover, Tilzer asserts that the all-inclusive trend is here to stay. “Hilton is expanding its all-inclusive category organically across destinations in the Caribbean and Latin America, while prioritizing the consistent quality that our owners and guests have come to expect.”
