    There are four main meal plans for hotels: 1. American Plan (AP) includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. It offers convenience but limits dining flexibility. 2. Modified American Plan (MAP) includes breakfast and one other meal, offering some flexibility and lower cost. 3. Continental Plan (CP) includes continental breakfast only, allowing guests to choose other meals but at a low included cost. 4. European Plan (EP) does not include any meals, giving complete dining flexibility but requiring payment for all meals.

    Activity 9- Meal Plans

    1. What are the four meal plans? Describe each.


     American Plan (AP) - Full Board
    - means that the nightly rate quoted by a hotel or resort includes three
    meals a day, i.e. breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the American plan,
    the meals are provided by the establishment's kitchen and served on
    site, typically in the dining room.
     Modified American Plan (MAP) – Half Board
    - refers to a booking option that includes the room night, a free
    breakfast and a second meal either lunch or more typically dinner.
    This option is offered for multiple reasons. One of which being that it
    allows hotels to offer more price conscious guests and families the
    ability to anticipate their costs.
     Continental Plan (CP)
    - indicates that the quoted rate includes a continental breakfast. A
    continental breakfast normally consists of coffee or tea, juice, and
    bread. The bread may be as simple as a loaf or as appealing as a
    basket of freshly baked croissants, scones, and muffins. At some
    facilities, yogurt and fresh fruit may also be available. The Continental
    Plan breakfast does not include cooked foods, such as pancakes or
    eggs.
     European Plan (EP)
    - indicates that the quoted rate is strictly for lodging and does not
    include any meals. All food provided by the hotel is billed separately.
    Taxes and tips are usually additional as well.

    2. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of each plan.
