Usually described clearly
Dates, number of nights, general room category, meal pattern and headline programme.
āAll inclusiveā is not a complete description. The useful question is which named services appear in the current offer and contract for the exact dates, room and participant.
This page provides a comparison framework, not legal advice and not a statement that every retreat is a regulated package holiday.

Calculate the realistic total
Package + room supplement + taxes + transport + baggage + insurance + activities + connectivity + contingency = realistic trip total
The European Unionās travel information explains that a package can combine services such as transport, accommodation, car hire or another tourist service, and that covered packages include pre-contractual information. Whether particular rights apply depends on how and where services are sold.
Use the Retreat Budget Guide to record excluded costs instead of comparing headline prices alone.
