All Inclusive resorts we are great choice right now for travel!
1. Consistent Quality Control Standards Minimizes Risk
All-inclusive resorts have strict guidelines and protocols in place that extend throughout their entire properties. From the beach and pool to the bar and dining areas, consistent standards and procedures have been established across-the-board. Additionally, many of these properties have hired third-party safety companies to consult on how best to minimize risk and keep COVID-19 at bay. Most are taking extensive steps to ensure the safety and comfort of their guests. Some examples include requiring guests scan QR codes at restaurants and spas to avoid shared menus, offering conveniences like room service that is delivered outside a guests’ door, and signifying the sanitization of a guest room by sealing the door with a sticker.
2. No Crowds, Social Distancing Enforced
Social distancing is much more achievable at all-inclusive resorts due to their vast size and layout. What’s more, some destinations, such as Mexico, are capping hotel occupancies, guaranteeing there is enough distance between your client and other guests. If that’s not enough, the rooming options at many all-inclusive properties also provide guests with the ability to stay isolated or venture out as much as they choose.
3. No Need to Venture Outside the Resort
When it comes to the sanitary practices of these properties, the due diligence has been done for your clients, alleviating the stress of anyone having to investigate on their own. Staying at an all-inclusive eliminates the need to go beyond its borders to local eateries as well as the concern over whether health standards in outlying areas are consistent with your expectations. Plus, in addition to dining, guests of all-inclusive resorts can stay on-property to enjoy water activities and off-shore excursions, without the need to board a bus and travel to an off-site location.
“Going off-property presents a challenge right now because everything is not fully operational,” said Paquin. “There are reduced hours for restaurants and entertainment is limited. You have more options at your fingertips at an all-inclusive than you do outside.”
Travel advisors are choosing these properties first and foremost for their social distancing protocols.
