All-inclusive travel: Istanbul the sunny city where an all-inclusive stay costs the least during the summer holidays

In Istanbul, a week’s all-inclusive holiday during the summer holidays costs €711 per person, including flight and accommodation.

A third of French people have already booked an all-inclusive trip (all-inclusive) for their summer vacation*. These formulas, which most often imply a fixed fixed price for accommodation, catering, or even activities and drinks, have, in essence, a major advantage: they avoid exceeding the fixed budget.

The all-inclusive stay, a major ally for saving money

This safeguard seems particularly attractive for the summer holidays 2022, during which the French will multiply the tricks to lower the price of the invoice. Indeed, for 72% of the inhabitants of France, the budget has never been so decisive in the choice of their holidays, according to a survey conducted by VVF Ingénerie**. In an inflationary context, all-inclusive stays therefore seem to be an option of choice to deal with fluctuating prices.

But which destinations are the most affordable? To determine this, the Savoo.fr teams compared the prices of a plane ticket and a stay in an all-inclusive hotel for 6 nights, from July 9 to 15, 2022, among the most popular foreign destinations. The verdict is that Istanbul, in Turkey, is the most accessible city.
