Certified Travel Agent Practice Test

For a resort to be classified as all-inclusive, what must it offer?

1. Every element of a customer's vacation in one price

2. A choice of activities for an additional fee

3. A discount on future bookings

4. Only accommodations and meals

The correct answer is: Every element of a customer's vacation in one price

For a resort to be classified as all-inclusive, it must provide every element of a customer's vacation within a single price. This means that not only accommodations and meals are included, but also various amenities, activities, and sometimes even excursions. The essence of all-inclusive resorts is to offer a seamless experience where guests don't have to worry about additional costs for the majority of their needs on-site, which enhances convenience and relaxation. Including only accommodations and meals would not meet the all-inclusive criteria because it limits what guests can enjoy without incurring extra charges. Similarly, providing a choice of activities for an additional fee or offering discounts on future bookings does not align with the all-inclusive concept, which emphasizes a comprehensive package that addresses the primary aspects of a vacation without unexpected expenses. Therefore, the correct answer captures the full scope of what an all-inclusive resort is designed to provide.
