The food system in hotels differs according to the type of food and the type of boarding house. As a rule, in countries focused on beach and passive family vacations with children, extensive food systems are offered to customers, including not only standard meals, but also complementary ones.
When planning a trip to foreign countries, specify what kind of food system the selected hotel offers. After analyzing your desires and possibilities in relation to the type of recreation and the plan of activities, make the most optimal choice.
Power systems include:
CB (continental breakfast, continental breakfast) - includes coffee / tea, bun, butter and jam (portioned). As a rule, such a food system is adopted in bus tours in European countries.
BB (bed & breakfast, bed and breakfast) - only breakfast is included in the client's meal card. All additional meals at the hotel are available exclusively at an additional cost.
HB (half board, half board) - the hotel client is provided with two meals a day to choose from (breakfast-lunch or breakfast-dinner). As a rule, the indicated price does not include drinks (fresh juices, alcoholic drinks, mineral water). If desired, they can be purchased during lunch / dinner directly at the hotel restaurant. HB + (extended half board) includes free alcoholic drinks (beer, wine).
FB (full board, full board) - includes three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Type of food FB + (extended full board) - the hotel client is provided with a choice of various drinks, including alcoholic ones, of local production.
AI (all inclusive, all inclusive) is the most popular food system, which includes, besides the classic ones, breakfast, lunch and dinner, lunch, afternoon tea, late dinner, light snacks and an unlimited amount of alcoholic drinks. As a rule, this type of boarding house is offered to hotel clients in countries such as Turkey, Egypt, etc.
Before choosing a specific food system offered by the hotel, decide which type of vacation you prefer. If you are traveling with children, planning a passive vacation on the territory of the hotel or within walking distance from it, it will be more successful to choose such a type of food as FB (full board) or AI (all inclusive). In this case, you do not have to spend time and effort looking for a suitable cafe or shopping for groceries. The menus in the hotels are structured in such a way that during the week the dishes will be varied.
If you are planning an excursion vacation with trips to other cities, the most preferable types of food will be BB (bed & breakfast) or HB (half board) with the specification of breakfast and dinner. In this case, you will be free throughout the day. You will have the opportunity to visit various educational and exciting excursions, visit other cities and taste local cuisine in cafes and restaurants, feeling the flavor of the country.
