Why Is Flexibility A Superpower In Resort Development?

The power of flexibility is not to be underestimated when developing resorts around the world. Developers are continually exploring smart, strategic projects to strengthen their portfolio, and amid a sea of global hotel brands, they seek out where the competitive advantage lies to fuel profitability – and a resort company powered by flexibility provides that key advantage.

What does flexibility mean for developers and owners? Flexibility is about delivering multiple, significant opportunities to bolster revenue while producing the highest quality guest experience. For savvy developers, aligning with an agile hospitality company that embraces innovative thinking and presents a variety of revenue-producing opportunities undeniably drives a robust return on investment.

Beyond the Hyatt Inclusive Collection’s resilient luxury all-inclusive model that is adaptable based on market conditions and ever-evolving consumer trends, the strength of flexibility comes from the framework of Apple Leisure Group itself, comprised of a collection of companies each with individual strengths that together create a powerful entity providing an attractive proposition for developers.

Integration Powers Flexibility

Hyatt Inclusive Collection (formerly - Apple Leisure Group) has successfully integrated several hospitality-related companies (encompassing luxury resort management, distribution, loyalty programs, transportation and tour services, and technology solutions) to create a unique business model that helps provide opportunities for developers and owners to earn additional income.

Robust entities make up Apple Leisure Group’s framework.

• Established more than two decades ago, the Inclusive Collection now features 11 brands including Impression by Secrets, Hyatt Ziva®, Hyatt Zilara®, Zoëtry® Wellness & Spa Resorts, Secrets® Resorts & Spas, Breathless Resorts & Spas®, Dreams® Resorts & Spas, Hyatt Vivid Hotels & Resorts, Alua Hotels & Resorts®, and Sunscape® Resorts & Spas. Depending on location and market needs, developers can choose a new-build or conversion project that makes the most sense for the best chance of success.
• An invaluable and unmatched distribution component, ALG Vacations is the world’s leading provider of North American leisure travelers to Mexico and the Caribbean. The company’s proprietary distribution channels (through B2B, B2C and airline vacation brands) help drive occupancy to the Inclusive Collection’s luxury resorts with a steady stream of travelers year-round, ultimately increasing the financial strength of a resort.
• An important generator of demand, the Unlimited Vacation Club is a membership program offering preferred rates and benefits at Inclusive Collection properties. This program encourages customer loyalty, a particular strength for the Inclusive Collection, where there is a brand for all lifestyles and stages of life. With loyalty comes frequent resort stays and positive word-of-mouth praise to hopefully encourage an additional stream of vacationers.
• Exceptional experiences are central to guest satisfaction. A destination awaits beyond the hotel, and Amstar DMC succeeds in curating world-class destination services for individuals, travel advisors, tour operators, meeting planners and corporations. The opportunity to upsell with transportation services and tours can boost ADR and enhance revenue.
• A leading developer of cutting-edge award-winning technology solutions for travel merchandising and distribution, Trisept Solutions provides a suite of solutions to improve business operations for hotel companies, resorts, airlines, tour operators, travel agencies, tourism bureaus, theme parks and other suppliers. The right technology increases operating efficiency while saving money that can be applied to elevating the guest experience.

Flexibility is indeed a superpower when it comes to a developer’s return on investment. There is a distinct strength in flexibility when a company like Apple Leisure Group embodies multiple entities that work together towards delivering an unparalleled vacation experience and profitable resorts. Working with multiple companies under a single umbrella that all share the same philosophy for delivering excellence creates an important level of confidence for developers when seeking projects to expand their portfolio and improve profitability.
