用法筆記

Primarily used in British and European hotel contexts. In North America the term 'Modified American Plan' (MAP) is more common. Half-board always covers breakfast and one main meal (typically dinner); lunch is not included. The term 'half' refers to providing roughly half the meals compared with full board, not to a free-choice system.
