In recent years there has been repeated discussion about whether all-inclusive holidays are still up-to-date in terms of sustainability and environmental protection. However, customers seem to have a clear view, because according to tour operators, all-inclusive offers are in greater demand than ever before.

This is probably due to the fact that many want to protect themselves against the recent rise in prices in everyday life. You pay one price and pretty much have all drinks and food included during your stay. Sales have not only increased massively in "classic AI countries" such as Egypt or Turkey, but also in other countries. Some hotels will not introduce all-inclusive until the upcoming summer season - probably also due to pressure from tour operators.

According to its own statements, the Tui Group offers around 6.000 accommodations with AI. In the entire history of the company, there have never been so many in the portfolio. Numerous hotels will be offering all-inclusive packages for the first time in summer 2023. The tour operator is of the opinion that holidaymakers rely on "full cost control on vacation" precisely because of the rise in prices in everyday life. To put it simply: With the all-inclusive price, which includes all food and drinks, travelers want to protect themselves against any additional costs at the holiday destination.

Tui Germany boss Baumert admits to the FAZ that the average prices for the 2023 summer season have risen. This circumstance should also contribute to the fact that more all-inclusive trips are booked. Their share is now around 50 percent and even higher in relation to Egypt and Turkey.
