Todo Incluido Input Costs

I’m going back about 20 years for this story, so adjust the dollar amounts, but I think the principles still apply.

My father-in-law did television work regarding travel. I would do the camera work. We interviewed the general manager of the El President all-inclusive hotel.

He said that the cost per guest for food and drinks was under US$10/day.

My f-i-l asked how that was possible give the price of food ingredients locally.

The manager said that they didn’t buy things locally. Everything was shipped in from Mexico City. He also said that people think they will drink far more alcohol than they actually do after the first two days.

How are local restaurants supposed to be able to compete with that?
