SINGAPORE: Forget self-guided tours and DIY holidays – all-inclusive resorts are experiencing a revival. Once regarded as convenient but uninspired family destinations, all-inclusive resorts – where the price of stay includes accommodation, meals, drinks and activities – are drawing in Gen-Z travellers with their modern design and amenities. In 2024, searches on Hotels.com using the “all-inclusive” filter spiked 60 per cent from the year before. In a survey conducted by Expedia Group of over 25,000 travellers, 28 per cent of travellers said their perception of all-inclusive hotels had improved in the last 12 months, and 64 per cent of young travellers had already stayed in an all-inclusive hotel. Social media is also fuelling interest, as TikTok’s #allinclusive hashtag has appeared in around 200,000 posts worldwide. Travellers considering all-inclusive hotels shun big-city locations, favouring beach-front properties, wellness and food. This ties in with the rise of detour destinations, where travellers add a side-trip while visiting major cities, for instance to Krabi, Thailand (detour from Phuket), Fukuoka, Japan (from Tokyo) and Reims, France (from Paris). So what’s driving the rise in interest for all-inclusive stays? DEMAND FOR PREDICTABLE COSTS 2025 will be a period still defined by post-COVID uncertainties. The conditions contributing to the state of a permacrisis, such as climate change, economic volatility and geopolitical tensions, are likely to persist. This dampens consumer confidence and drives demand for predictable costs. Against this backdrop, Gen Zs are pragmatic when it comes to spending. This means they are more likely to prioritise value for money, often waiting for sales before making purchases, according to market research firm Mintel. All-inclusive resorts tend to be marketed as a value proposition: Guests know how much they are spending because they pay upfront and there are no surprise costs. This predictability relieves both financial and mental stress for young travellers. THE PROMISE OF HASSLE-FREE TRAVEL Wellness in travel is nothing new, but for Gen Zs, this may come as more of a priority. Gen Zs are experiencing burnout at an earlier age. In a Cigna Global Health survey of almost 12,000 workers around the world, 91 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds reported being stressed, 7 percentage points higher than the average. With the promise of a hassle-free experience where every detail has been taken care of, all-inclusive resorts may provide young travellers much-needed respite. These hotels offer guests the chance to shut their brains off while drinking unlimited margaritas in the sun, until it's time for their already-paid-for dinner. In the Expedia survey, Gen-Z travellers cite minimal stress (41 per cent), ease of booking (39 per cent) and a feeling of luxury (38 per cent) as the main appeal of all-inclusive resorts. Additionally, seeking experiences in travel is something that this generation may prioritise more. By starting families and buying homes later, Gen Zs are inclined to owning less and experiencing more. These travellers desire experiences over material goods and are looking to maximise every moment of their time away. As the newest generation of travellers, the tastes and preferences of Gen Zs will define the tourism sector. With Gen Z’s focus on stress-free travel, this may mean that all-inclusive resorts are here to stay.

KILIFI, Kenya Dec 17 – Residents of Mtwapa in Kilifi County are now assured of consistent access to essential medical supplies, thanks to the establishment of a modern pharmaceutical store at Mtwapa Sub-County Hospital. The store, established with financial support from the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), has significantly improved inventory management and service delivery for patients. A Pharmaceutical store at the Mtwapa Sub-County Hospital was launched in September 2023 with financial support from KEMSA. Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp KEMSA renovated the facility, fitting it with racks and a modern cooling system to ensure product safety, as part of its broader social investment strategy. This intervention has helped address previous challenges, such as stockouts, which had hindered the delivery of critical health services. Kilifi County is recognized as one of KEMSA’s top-performing counties due to its commitment to ring-fencing health budgets to guarantee uninterrupted medical supplies. Health facilities across Kenya are experiencing a significant transformation in managing essential medical commodities, thanks to the KEMSA’s Integrated Logistics Management Information System (i-LMIS). Dr. Terry Kamau, Chief Pharmacist at Mtwapa Sub-County Hospital, emphasized the transformative role of KEMSA’s Integrated Logistics Management Information System (i-LMIS) in streamlining stock management. “i-LMIS has played a major role in our medical supplies stock management because we can now monitor our inventory in real time and know exactly when to order,” Dr. Kamau said. “Unlike manual processes, i-LMIS provides real-time data and early warning signals. It ensures we always have the supplies we need. Patients no longer endure delays or shortages.” The award-winning i-LMIS , launched in 2022, integrates KEMSA’s headquarters, regional depots, and health facilities at all levels. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for demand forecasting, the system optimizes stocking, eliminating both overstocking and shortages of critical medical supplies. Previously, stockouts posed major challenges, particularly for family planning services and essential medicines. However, the system now guarantees consistent supply, ensuring continuous service delivery. Developed with support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), National Council for Population and Development (NCPD), and the Division of Reproductive and Maternal Health (DRMH-MoH), i-LMIS has earned global acclaim. It received recognition at the Global Health Supply Chain Summit and was showcased at the 20th Reproductive Health Supply Coalition General Membership Meeting in Accra, Ghana, as a model innovation in procurement and logistics management. Transforming Stock Management Nationwide Dennis Ndwiga, Senior Programs Officer at KEMSA, highlighted the system’s impact on healthcare delivery.

The system’s ability to analyze consumption patterns prevents stockouts and wastage,” Ndwiga said. “We release the right quantities of supplies based on county and facility needs, ensuring proactive and continuous service delivery.” The i-LMIS solution includes a commodity early warning and alert system that notifies stakeholders when supplies run low, an AI-powered allocation system that calculates facility-specific needs, and an electronic proof of delivery system that provides real-time notifications upon receipt of supplies. These features enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency across Kenya’s health sector. Currently, the system has been implemented in 8,500 of Kenya’s 9,500 health facilities, supporting the management of essential medicines, family planning programs, and other Ministry of Health initiatives. Through the modernization of stock management systems and unwavering commitment to efficient service delivery, KEMSA is transforming healthcare across the country. The Mtwapa project serves as a model for how technology and innovation can improve access to essential medical supplies, ensuring better health outcomes for all Kenyans.

Approximately 300 health facilities across Guyana are expected to be connected to Starlink by June 2025, enhancing telemedicine services nationwide. The announcement was made by Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony, during a graduation exercise in Lethem, Region Nine, last Saturday. Starlink, a satellite-operated internet constellation, is being utilised to improve healthcare delivery, particularly in remote areas. Currently, 53 telemedicine sites are connected to Starlink, with plans to expand to 85 by year-end and exceed 100 by 2025. “Because we are collaborating with the Prime Minister’s office which provides the Starlink connection to government agencies, we are hoping that at least 300 health facilities across the country will be connected by June of next year,” the minister stated. He added that the ultimate goal is to equip nearly all health facilities in every region with telemedicine capabilities. This cutting-edge technology enables efficient and wide-reaching healthcare services, particularly in hinterland regions. It allows health professionals in remote areas to consult with their counterparts in the city, aiding in patient diagnoses and treatment decisions. Telemedicine facilitates real-time sharing of medical data, enabling remote professionals to observe the same details as on-site staff and issue electronic medical transfers where necessary. Minister Anthony encouraged incoming healthcare workers to embrace these advancements. “So, I hope that these new people who are now coming into the health sector know how to use a computer. If you don’t, we will work with you and train you on how to use it because it is very important,” Minister Anthony said. Telemedicine was launched in 2022 in several hinterland communities including Nappi, Yupukari, and Masakenari. It is playing a pivotal role in transforming Guyana’s healthcare system, bridging the gap between the hinterland and the coastland. [DPI]THE Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ) has bemoaned the failure by the government to allocate funds in the recently announced 2025 National Budget towards improving the public transportation system in the country. In a statement, CCZ chief executive officer Rose Mpofu said the government should have considered suspending duty on public service buses. “Public transport remains a big challenge and consumers are always being taken advantage of, especially women because they are usually harassed by disrespectful touts. Also children and people with disabilities are always being taken advantage of,” she said. She said commuter omnibus operators disregard the fair pricing system, always finding ways of circumventing it through hiking fares when it rains, or in the evening when commuters are desperate to get home. Mpofu said the government should have considered allocating some funds towards resuscitating Zupco to enable it to grow its fleet and provide an affordable and efficient service. She said a reliable public transport system would assist in decongesting the roads as most people will use it instead of the private commuter omnibuses, commonly known as “kombis”, and pirate taxis, known as “mushikashika”. Jobs would also be created and the dignity that consumers get from using public transport would also be created. “Resuscitation of the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) is also very important and we are happy that it was given a huge chunk to try and upscale its operations,” Mpofu said. She welcomed the suspension of duty on inputs for producing motor vehicles saying this will promote value addition and create employment which will benefit consumers as more income is earned. On the issue of withholding tax on betting, Mpofu said it is a positive move as it would result in more people paying taxes and increased revenue generation for the government to fund social programmes. She also hailed the government for increasing the minimum tax threshold, but suggested that it should have been informed by the family basket of six. — New Ziana

Breaking Down Accolade: 8 Analysts Share Their ViewsReddit Slides On Report Advance Plans To Borrow Against Stake In Hot Social Media StockCNN senior reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere said Thursday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that President Joe Biden will be remembered as the guy who was in between the non-consecutive presidential terms of Donald Trump. Dovere said, “Legacy was what he had. I think you’re right—a historic first couple of years in office. More legislation on the domestic front than anybody going back to Lyndon Johnson can claim credit for. I do think that what you’ve seen is a slow receding into the bushes from Joe Biden here. I’m going to do it. I’m going to bring up a West Wing quote here. There’s a moment on the West Wing when John Spencer, as Leo McGarry, the White House chief of staff, says to his I try to rally the troops, and he says, we can do more, we can effect more change in one day in this building than we will in a lifetime after we leave the building. That is not the approach that Joe Biden has been taking, at least publicly since the election, certainly – and even since he ceded the nomination to Kamala Harris. But there are things that he could be doing through executive authority. A lot of things that he could be doing would probably put a target on them for Donald Trump to go after first.” He added, “I think it’s a really difficult thing for Joe Biden to know that he came into the presidency as a rejection of Donald Trump, and here he is being replaced by Donald Trump. I think back to an interview that I did with Joe Biden, he’d been president for about three weeks, for a book that I wrote. A part of the takeaway that I have with him trying to assert himself as Joe Biden, the guy who got elected president, not just Barack Obama’s vice president, not just the guy who beat Donald Trump. But now that is part of who he is. And it may define who he is a couple of weeks before the election. I had a conversation with a senior person in the White House and I said, if Harris loses most of the way that Biden is going to be remembered, at least in the short term, as the guy who was just in between the Trump terms.” Dovere concluded, “At this moment, that is the way he is acting.” Follow Pam Key on X @pamkeyNEN
