Aimbridge adds all-inclusive division

PLANO, Texas – With continued growth in the all-inclusive space, third-party management giant Aimbridge Hospitality has decided to launch a dedicated All-Inclusive division. It expects to finalize its first deal “in the coming months” and begin operations by year-end.

Aimbridge, which did not make its executive team available for follow up, already has infrastructure in place with operations across all-inclusive ripe Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America.

The new division, to be based in Miami, unites core disciplines – including operations, commercial strategy and guest experience – within a unified structure and backed by established brand relationships and regional expertise.

“We’re entering the All-Inclusive space with purpose and precision,” said Aimbridge CEO Craig Smith. “Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how impactful this model can be in driving performance and guest satisfaction. Our focused approach is designed to deliver results by combining best-in-class specialized teams with the strength of Aimbridge’s operational foundation – bringing scalable success and tailored solutions to this high-growth segment.”

Smith brings extensive experience in the all-inclusive segment from his years at Marriott, particularly across Latin America and the Caribbean, where a reported 88% of all global all-inclusive inventory is concentrated.

“This investment reflects our confidence in the long-term potential of All-Inclusive hospitality and our commitment to helping owners capitalize on that opportunity,” said Eric Jacobs, chief global growth officer of Aimbridge Hospitality. “As demand accelerates and guest expectations rise, we’re ready to deliver the expertise and discipline this category requires.”
