Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has released findings from a new consumer study, indicating strong interest in all-inclusive resorts from travelers. The survey, commissioned by Wyndham and conducted by OnePoll, shows that 75 percent of travelers believe the best way to travel is to book an all-inclusive trip and 77 percent believe that an all-inclusive vacation is the least stressful way to travel.
It's also important to note, however, that last fall, Wyndham announced a strategic partnership with Playa Hotels & Resorts, and unveiled a new all-inclusive resort brand, Wyndham Alltra. The brand’s name, “Alltra,” was coined from the brand promise of “All-Inclusive Travel for All.” Wyndham Alltra offers upscale food and beverages, services, amenities and activities with expressive local flavor.
With many Americans working remotely at least part of the time, travel plans are also shifting with workers’ newfound flexibility. Based on the data, 65 percent of working travelers plan to take a working vacation in 2022, and among these respondents, all-inclusive resorts were the top desired destination. As many as 62 percent of respondents said the beach is their top anticipated destination this year, with three in five agreeing that Mexico is a top choice for their next vacation.
The study also showed that the top five things travelers look for when planning a vacation included all-inclusive packages (44 percent); beach access (44 percent); high-quality restaurants (44 percent); local culture (43 percent); and excursions/activities (43 percent). Families, in particular, are attracted to this product offering, with two-thirds of parents surveyed citing interest in booking an all-inclusive vacation.
The first two resorts in the Wyndham Alltra collection are the family-friendly, 458-key Wyndham Alltra Cancun and the adults-only, 287-key Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen, which both opened in Mexico in December 2021. The brand plans to develop additional upper-midscale, all-inclusive Wyndham Alltra resorts in the Caribbean and other popular destinations.
