"Hi! I’m Rob Blowes from Carlson Wagonlit Travel on behalf of expertvillage.com. Today I’m going to speak about all inclusive travel. In this clip I’m going to talk about what’s not included generally in all inclusive package. Generally what may not be included in the package, first of all you may even have to pay a departure tax when you leave the destination you’re visiting so keep that in mind that you may have to pay a little extra tax usually 20, $25 to leave the destination. You may have to pay for premium drinks, any site seeing tours you may have to pay for if you’re going to be planning on touring a lot, it’s very popular in Mexico to see the Myan ruins tours, those are generally extra. Motorized water sports generally are an extra charge in most resorts where water skiing or parasailing or scuba diving that type of thing, many will offer an introductory scuba course for free in the pool but then obviously they’ll want to sell you the scuba trip so they’ll be charging you for the tanks and the boat service. Golfing that type of thing, maybe it’s a ski resort or something like that you may have to pay for heliskiing if you’re going to like club med may offer it in all inclusive package but you still have to pay if you want to do the heliskiing or adventure thing, four wheel drive trips that type of things. So you know they maybe seem all inclusive but they’re not necessarily all inclusive and then again talk to your travel professional they’ll help you decide which one they offer the most inclusions for you and save you some money."
