He added that the conglomerate has long dominated the all-inclusive resort market in Mexico and the Caribbean. &#8220;Now we&#8217;re the third-largest hotel company in Spain, with hotels in Greece and other areas. That inventory wound up creating a 60% growth for Hyatt in Europe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Related: Hyatt CEO envisions all-inclusive growth worldwide<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Javier Coll, group president of global business development and innovation for AMResorts, said the brand&#8217;s current priority is focusing its expansion on the Mediterranean, particularly in Greece.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We definitely want to keep growing in Greece in some of the islands where we are not present, such as Kos and Rhodes,&#8221; Coll said during a press conference at Ascend. &#8220;But we&#8217;re also working on different projects in Croatia. So any destination in the Mediterranean where we have good connectivity &#8212; resort destinations that are in line with what we have in current destinations like Spain &#8212; is good for us.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ALG executive vice president Jacki Marks said the expansion into Europe was long awaited by travel advisors eager to offer more of the company&#8217;s products in destinations outside of ALG&#8217;s bread-and-butter markets in Mexico and the Caribbean.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to be a good partner to advisors, and to do that we have to have a breadth of products that allows them to come to us as a one-stop shop,&#8221; Marks said, adding that ALG Vacations is now working on building out its portfolio in Europe, specifically looking at pricing strategies, tours and excursions, and, eventually, rail options.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Laurence Pinckney, president and founder of ZenBiz Travel in New York, said ALG&#8217;s Europe expansion is something he&#8217;s looking forward to offering clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a natural extension,&#8221; Pinckney said at the conference. &#8220;The Caribbean will always offer many options for the U.S. market, but to have brands that we know to choose from in Europe is a great advantage to our travel advisors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelweekly.com\/Travel-News\/Hotel-News\/AMResorts-Europe-expansion-helps-travel-advisors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CANCUN &#8212;
