For a long time, a trip to the resort has been associated with the All inclusive or All Inclusive system. This system implies breakfasts, lunches, dinners and local alcohol completely free of charge inside the hotel. But not all countries organize this type of recreation.
What is All inclusive
"All inclusive" - this phrase beckons to go to a travel agency to buy a ticket. A huge plus is that on vacation you do not have to think about where to eat and how much you need to save for alcohol and food. Everything in the hotel can be received free of charge. You don't have to constantly count your finances, save money, so as not to stay hungry at the end of your vacation.
Different hotels beckon with their slogans. Words such as vip class, excellent, ultra, superior are added to the standard inscription. But all this is nothing more than a simple publicity stunt. There are only 2 categories of all inclusive services - mini and maxi. The first assumes that only local food, drinks and alcohol are provided free of charge from 10 am to 9 pm. Maxi implies that alcohol is provided not only local, but also imported. The restaurants and lobby bars are free until midnight. Also in terms of maxi all inclusive additional services may be included. For example, they can fill the minibar in the room free of charge.
Where can you relax on the "All inclusive" system
It is not always possible to have an all-inclusive rest. In the countries of the European Union, such a service is rarely practiced. Yes, in travel agencies you can hear that there are vouchers, for example, to Greece on the island of Zakynthos on the “All Inclusive” system, but in fact it will turn out to be a voucher with the “Full Board” service. That is, breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. Those who have previously rested in the resorts of Turkey and Egypt will understand how big the difference is.
By the way, Turkey and Egypt are considered precisely the countries where the All inclusive system is the most widespread and relevant service. Most of the vouchers to the resorts of Turkey and Egypt involve all-inclusive meals; it is rare to find trips with half-board meals. It is also interesting that those who want to save money and purchase a tour without the All inclusive service will subsequently have to pay much more. Even a mug of coffee at a nearby hotel can cost around $ 40. What can we say about food and alcohol.
What about other countries
If you look well, then the All Inclusive system can still be found in European countries. But is it really profitable? If a trip is planned to Montenegro or Bulgaria, then even having found the All service, you should still think about it. It will be much more profitable to take only breakfasts, and spend lunches and dinners in cozy and inexpensive cafes. There will be a huge number of them around the hotel. And the price tag on the menu will be quite acceptable.
In Italy you can find All Inclusive packages only in Sardinia and Sicily. Here, just before buying a tour, you need to calculate the benefits. There are times when it is at these resorts that such free services as renting canoes, sunbeds, umbrellas and so on are additionally added to the All Inclusive system.
In the Emirates, you can find only a couple of hotels with the desired system and it is very unprofitable to purchase such tours. In Dubai, Sharjah and other resorts, there is simply a huge number of very cheap cafes. It is possible to find a hotel using the All inclusive system only in Fujairah. This is due to the remoteness of the hotels from the center.
Where else can you benefit from the All inclusive system?
The concept of providing such a service is only justified in beach resorts. In addition to Turkey and Egypt, you can have a good rest according to such a system in Thailand, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Cuba.
