Of all the places in the world, it is the Caribbean that is the centre for vacations specializing in all inclusive packages. This is such a popular area of the world that all inclusive Caribbean vacations now outnumber bed and breakfast vacations booked on the islands. Some attribute the popularity of the Caribbean islands to the predominance of this type of vacation; however, there really isn't any basis for this belief.

In all likelihood it is just the fact that all inclusive Caribbean vacations are becoming more popular generally as they are more cost effective; especially for people that like to know there are few other financial outlays to expect. There are even specialist packages, so it doesn't matter what your interest or requirements are you can guarantee they will be met. For people that already have family on the islands, their requirements are minimal; there is generally no need for anything other than a flight to be arranged.

It is one of those destinations where it an all inclusive Caribbean vacation option is the most affordable. Many tour operators offering this facility will have options of cheaper transportation and accommodation than would otherwise be accessible to the independent traveler. Although many independent travelers would never consider arranging a 'package' vacation like this. It is surprising, even now, just how many people that book an all inclusive vacation aren't aware of what they are actually going to get for their money.

Every vacation includes the accommodation and that is the only consistent part of a vacation except where a flight has been booked on its own. Whilst the level of meals offered may differ in other vacation packages, with this type, generally all food is included in the cost; in fact many types of board only include a continental breakfast as part of the arrangement. Surprisingly, there are still a number of people that believe that a full board vacation is the same as an all inclusive one.

There is actually quite a big difference when you consider an all inclusive Caribbean vacation that supplies all food and drink but a full board arrangement only includes three meals each day. Many hotels will also supply their guests with discount vouchers for events, entertainment and meals for example; normally there will be an additional (usually lower) cost attached nevertheless. Most all inclusive Caribbean vacations will however, normally include all these as part of the package; usually entertainment and often excursions are part of the price, which does make it easier to enjoy a wonderful location without the need to carry any money around.
