Summer 2025: Gen Z discovers all-inclusive vacation for relaxation!

Antalya, Türkei - Summer vacation 2025 is just around the corner and brings with it a significant trend, especially among young people. According to a report by Watson , many young people find their first trips without a way to experience freedom. There are no visits to museum or strict timetable in the way; Instead, enjoy sleeping out and participating, for example at parties.

The Expedia survey shows that 30 percent of generation Z, which was born between 1997 and 2010, have a more positive picture of all-inclusive hotels. This view clearly stands out from the older opinion and has increasingly reached young travelers. The trend, which was originally attributed to the Boomer generations, develops into a preference that also attracts younger travelers.

all-inclusive and stress reduction

A survey also showed that 61 percent of those surveyed aged 18 to 24 prefer all-inclusive hotels. The practical advantages are particularly noteworthy, because 49 percent of the participants estimate that they no longer have to search for restaurants. In addition, 42 percent of those surveyed reduce stress because they do not have to make any additional planning with an all-inclusive offer. Susanne Dopp, press spokeswoman of Expedia, describes all-inclusive as an "all-round carefree package" that is increasingly becoming a feeling of luxury for young travelers.

Another interesting phenomenon is the trend towards "Jomo" - the "Joy of Missing Out". According to a FeWo survey, 88 percent of the respondents want a vacation in a Jomo style, which focuses on the conscious enjoyment of the "non-tunes" and focuses on relaxation. More than half of the respondents believe that this vacation style contributes to improving sleep and reducing fears.

long -term vacations and attractive travel destinations

increasingly looking for long -term vacations, with the trend towards staying of more than four weeks. Popular travel destinations for long-term stays include Denmark, Sweden and the North and Baltic Sea. Another trend called "Coolcation" shows that more and more people want to spend parts of the Summer in regions with more pleasant climate conditions.

In terms of all-inclusive hotels, distance targets such as Mauritius and Mexico gain popularity. Popular all-inclusive holiday destinations for Generation Z are Antalya, Dalaman, Bodrum in Turkey as well as Mallorca, Crete and Rhodes in Greece, followed by Hurghada in Egypt.

Although millennials and genes are increasingly considering all-inclusive offers, the question remains whether this trend is really new. A travel provider, Johannes Betzold, reports that all-inclusive trips have already existed in the past 15 to 20 years. However, the meaningfulness of the current surveys could be limited, since the number of participants is comparatively low. Nevertheless, there is a clear wish for a stress -free vacation with more focus on relaxation and enjoyment.
