rec.travel.resorts.all-inclusive	All-inclusive resorts. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

To discuss and compare all-inclusive resorts. This includes Club
Med and Club Med's competitors, where all lodging, meals, sports
instruction, and  entertainment are included in the package
price. The only common exceptions to the everything-included-
in-one-price plan are alcoholic drinks and side-trips outside the
resort. Some resorts include these and some do not.

In the travel and hotel field, the generally accepted 3-part
definition of an "all-inclusive resort" is one that (1) includes
lodging, all meals, and entertainment, (2) includes all tips and
taxes, and (3) includes all the guests at the resort as part of
the all-inclusive plan. Thus, a resort that offers an optional
meal plan would not be considered an all-inclusive resort.

The 100+ location Club Med chain is the originator of the
all-inclusive resort concept, and there are now approximately 100
additional resorts that also meet the definition. A complete list
of these resorts would be posted. Articles and comments would be
welcome from people who have visited the resorts with their
opinions, and from people who are interested in visiting resorts
with their questions about each one. Advertising or solicitation
would not be allowed.

Moderation Policies:

It is proposed that rec.travel.resorts.all-inclusive be
moderated, and that rec.travel.resorts.misc not be moderated.
The main purpose of having a moderator for
rec.travel.resorts.all-inclusive is to uphold the charter of the
group and reject articles that do not conform to it. There are
many many hotels that claim to be all-inclusive which are not,
in fact, all-inclusive by the generally-accepted 3-part
definition. Indeed, if the group were not moderated, questions
and comments about the many non-all-inclusive resorts could
easily overwhelm the discussion of true all-inclusives. Samples
of the kinds of questions and comments from participants that
might appear in the moderated group:

"I'm thinking of traveling to Club Med Cancun. Is it good for
singles?" (answer: yes, one of the best) (another answer: well,
I'm single and I hated Cancun...)

"What would be a good inclusive resort for a family traveling
with teenagers?" (answer: the family-oriented locations like
Club Med Punta Cana are also good for teens)

"I just returned from Sandals in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and
discovered something that is not in the brochure: it's located
right at the end of the Montego Bay airport runway!" (exactly the
kind of comment that is very valuable)

Samples of comments that would be excluded in the moderated
group:

"Can anybody tell me about the Eden Roc Hotel on Miami Beach?"
(not all-inclusive -- the poster would be directed to
rec.travel.resorts.misc)

"The BEST TRAVEL AGENCY handles all the resorts mentioned here.
We are very friendly and would love your business, so call us
fast and mention this and we'll give you a FREE BEACH BAG!"
(advertising)

"For a free introductory minute of phone sex, call..."  (not on
the topic)
