Survey challenges ‘all-inclusive’ holidays in Europe

Monday, 06 Jul, 2015 0

A survey by the Post Office has found that most tourists paying for all-inclusive in European holiday resorts are spending extra money in local bars and restaurants.

It found two thirds of families opting for all-inclusive were spending an average of £233 on extra meals and drinks outside the resort.

While a third or more also paid extra for specialist drinks not included at their hotel.

Andrew Brown of Post Office Travel Money said: "Over the past four years our annual research has consistently shown that European All Inclusive resorts offer less than holidaymakers expect so it is important for families to be aware of what is included in their package to avoid getting caught out.

"On the plus side, the powerful pound means that All Inclusive holidaymakers who want to get a real flavour of their holiday destination can eat and drink in local restaurants and bars more cheaply this year. "
