All Inclusive as a principle of carefree living
A holiday in Egypt as an all-inclusive package tour option. Pay once, and the rest takes care of itself. The voucher booklet can be used instead of a wallet, and immediate relaxation can begin.
A travel report follows in the exhibition space, turning thematic worlds of real and non-real realities into a tour through the all-inclusive principle. True to the motto: Not everything that glitters is gold.

Is all-inclusive travel sustainable?
TUI says: “Local people benefit in many ways—and significantly more than from other forms of tourism… in terms of jobs, income, career opportunities, access to important customer segments.” ” However, according to TOURISM WATCH, the outcome of the cited study is disputed both within the GTZ, which conducted the study, and among NGOs and tourism experts. We also ask whether long flights for a short holiday, with their CO2 emissions, are sustainable.
