ALL-INCLUSIVE breaks at a number of holiday hotspots have jumped in price this year – and some of them are very popular with Brits.
New research has found that package holidays in Tenerife and Crete have jumped the most.

The study, compiled by TravelSupermarket for BBC, found the average cost of a week-long all-inclusive holiday in Tenerife is up 22 per cent this year.
A similar holiday in Crete is also up 25 per cent, while Majorca all-inclusive breaks are up 21 per cent.
Spanish holidays cost an average £808pp a week last year, which has jumped to £926pp.
Turkey holidays are up from £901pp, now £991pp, and Greece holidays which were £974pp on average last year have soared past £1,098pp.
Chief executive of TravelSupermarket Richard Singer said waiting until the last minute for cheap deals won’t work due to high demand.
He said: “It is unlikely that prices will fall substantially for this summer.
“Prices for next year are looking on a par with this year.”
Sophie West, who recently booked an all-inclusive holiday to Crete with her family, revealed how she’s kept costs down.
She told the BBC she booked in January – when there were cheaper deals – as well booked 10 days rather than seven as it was cheaper due to flying on off peak days.

Another mum revealed how she saves money on all-inclusive holidays.
Sabine Leroy said staying at newly opened resorts can save you money while also asking staff for any extra freebies.
And another recently revealed how she saves money while still going away during the school holidays – by going at the end rather than the beginning.
