All-Inclusive:
Most all-inclusive resorts are booked via a tour company, however, there are a few companies that it is not unusual to see an agent book direct with that company. An example would be Sandals and of course, most all (if not all) Club Med vacations are booked direct so if an agent books a particular all-inclusive company direct then we can query on that supplies to achieve the all-inclusive marketing code selection.
