Video Transcript

"Hi! I’m Rob Blowes from Carlson Wagonlit Travel on behalf of expertvillage.com. Today we’re going to talk about all inclusive travel, in this clip I’m going to talk about what is an all inclusive package? We’ll that can mean a different thing to different people but generally an all inclusive package would include your meals, your drinks, your accommodation in many cases your flights. However, there are options out there where you may have frequent flyer points you want to redeem, we can still get you an all inclusive land package and there’s also cruises that might be all inclusive. There’s semi-inclusive packages which is almost all inclusive which a lot of people would like that as well it gives them some freedom to think that oh I can go eat a few meals off the resort and not feel like I’m missing out on something that I’ve paid for, so there’s various options out there but generally meals, drinks, non motorized water sports generally included in that type of thing, entertainment every night but you got to keep in mind too that even an all inclusive resort there may be some surcharges if you want specialty drinks, international drinks that type of thing or certain restaurants may require you pay a surcharge to eat maybe a steakhouse or some specialty restaurant. So even though it is all inclusive it may not be completely inclusive and that’s where you have to give us a call and we can help you decide which one’s the right destination for you."
