The all-inclusive is changing: what to expect in Turkish hotels
All-inclusive is very popular among tourists. This is a system of recreation where guests are offered free food, drinks, and other services along with hotel accommodation. However, the Turkish government notes that it needs to be revised to "balance" costs.
What format will the Turkish "All-inclusive" be in now, and how will it affect the tourism industry? Turizmgazetesi knows the answer to these questions.
What should travelers expect?
Turkey has already announced that everyone's favorite "All-inclusive" is going to undergo drastic changes. In particular, this is due to the sharp increase in hotel costs in recent years.
Instead, government officials are proposing a model to solve this problem. The main idea is to pay according to how much the client consumes. That is why they propose to divide All-inclusive into several categories. Travelers can choose the best one for themselves before buying a tour.
They also want to make alcoholic drinks available in hotels. Turizmogazetesi writes that people complained that they should pay for alcohol if they don't drink it. Therefore, the models will list the products that the customer will consume.
Kaan Cavaloglou, president of the Association of Mediterranean Tourist Hoteliers and Operators, explains:
"Due to the competitive environment, we have overcrowded the all-inclusive system. Therefore, the new model can create a price advantage. It will also be integrated into the all-inclusive system."
Nirvana Hotels CEO Korhan Alşan also made a statement that they do not plan to abandon all-inclusive forever. It is very popular here, and Turkey implements it well.
"We need to diversify the content of this system."
