For many years "all inclusive" was banned in the Gambia but now it is back! It was believed that the "all inclusive" would be advantageous as local sellers, bars and restaurants would not have chance to have a share but all would go to the big international tour operators and the so cherished forex would all stay outside of the country. A heated debate was on for many years. However for the Atlantic Hotel, a classic hotel in the capital city of Banjul the "all inclusive" was finally approved. A move that probably takes into consideration, that this particular hotel is far away from the tourism sites and moving especially late night could be difficult and costly. The hotel is situated directly at the beach, one of the most beautiful beaches of the Gambia. Below the advert I received from the hotel: Laico Atlantic Hotel is proud to announce in addition to its existing B&B and Half Board packages. We like to thank the Honourable Minister for Tourism and Culture Madam Fatou Mass Jobe Njie as well as Madam Binta Jobe General Manager of Gambia Tourism Authority for the fast andling of our request and approval.
