All-Inclusive Vacation Guide & Resort Comparison Toolkit

A richer vacation starts with smarter choices.

All-inclusive sounds simple. Choosing the right trip takes more than comparing room prices.

Travel Rich. Spend Smart.: The All-Inclusive Edition helps you understand what you are buying, compare the full vacation cost and decide which extras deserve a place in your budget. Written by travel advisor Elizabeth Shirey, this illustrated guide puts your priorities at the center of the decision.

Your $19 bundle includes

• A 58-page illustrated guide, presented one page at a time for easy reading.

• An optional spread-view edition.

• A seven-tab Excel planning workbook for true trip costs, comparing three offers, upgrades, spending, resort credits and usable vacation time.

• Nine pages of printable planning worksheets.

• 50 questions worth asking before you book.

• A quick-start guide and a START HERE file.

Look beyond the advertised price

Learn why resort credit is not cash, how flight and transfer times affect the vacation you get to enjoy, and how to judge upgrades against what matters to you. Explore country maps, airports, major cities, cruise ports and coastlines, plus practical guidance on sargassum, timeshare pitches and reading reviews.

Fictional examples bring the decisions to life. This is a traveler-centered planning guide, with no individual resort listings or favorites that quickly go out of date.

Make this trip feel like yours

You do not have to spend the most to travel richly. You do need to know what is worth paying for. Use the guide on your own, or bring your completed worksheets to Elizabeth for help planning a trip around your priorities. Personal travel-planning services are separate from this purchase.
