Earlier in this season, we talked about the popularity and trends surrounding all-inclusive resorts. But some listeners -- advisors and travelers alike -- may not know there's a growing all-inclusive market in Europe. And the resorts are different from the traditional inclusive properties in Mexico, the Dominican Republic or Jamaica.

On this episode, host Rebecca Tobin and hotels editor Christina Jelski brought together three advisors -- Abbey Meyer, cofounder of Sky High Travel Advisors, Heather Huber, an advisor with Vincent Vacations; and Lynnette Pena, an independent travel advisor with CS Elements Travel -- with whom she traveled to Mallorca, Spain, to see two all-inclusive resorts under the Secrets and Zoetry brands: The Secrets Mallorca Villamil Resort and Spa and Zoetry Mallorca.

We discuss the differences between those resorts and the traditional product; plus the difference between the Secrets and Zoetry. Who might be the best client, and why?
