How To Decode A Travel Brochure

“See” vs. “View” vs. “Visit”
  • Typically, “see” means the tour bus will drive by so you can see it. “View” means a photo opportunity or brief stop. “Visit" means a more thorough stop -- where you can explore a bit. But this isn’t always the case, so you should ask if you want to be sure, or if a particular site is important to you.
  • “Land-only”
  • “Land-only” typically means the price covers just the land or hotel portion of the vacation.
  • “European-Plan” vs. “All-Inclusive”
  • “All-inclusive” usually refers to a resort hotel where all your “extras” are included, like drinks, meals, etc. And yes, even though it seems impossible, everything really IS included, and it’s most certainly a better deal than the “European plan" -- or a la carte.
  • “Oceanfront” vs. “Oceanview” Room
  • “Oceanfront” directly faces the ocean.
  • “Oceanview” is a room which provides some sort of view -- you might have to lean out the window to get it, however.
  • “Sightseeing” vs. “Orientation Tour”
  • A sightseeing tour is accompanied by a local city guide, and you may make stops.
  • An orientation tour points out places of interest you might want to visit on your own later.
  • Transfers
  • Transportation between the airport and your hotel when you arrive and depart.
