“It’s a predictable expenses. So much is built into the price that they can know in advance what the whole thing will cost,” argues Michael Schron, rejecting conventional wisdom.

Mr Schron is a meeting planner with Robert P. Schron Associates who argues the all-inclusive resorts found throughout the Caribbean and Mexican coasts that have been popular with leisure travelers are starting to get popular with meeting planners as well
