The Executive Chairman of SuperClubs Super-Inclusive resorts, the Hon. John Issa will be at WTM to talk about the progress of the four newest SuperClubs properties, due to open in 2004/05.

Credited as the “Father of the all-inclusive” resort concept in the Caribbean for over 27 years, the Issa family`s 16 resort hotel group in six countries in Latin America and the Caribbean represents the Super-Inclusive concept today. Today Issa runs seven all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica alone, and has opened resorts in The Bahamas, Curaçao, Cuba, Brazil and, most recently, two new resorts in the Dominican Republic. SuperClubs resorts were the first all-inclusives to include alcoholic beverages, island excursions, weddings and tips as part of the holiday package. A market segmentation strategy produced several different brands allowing his guests to choose the right resort for their needs.
