T<\/span>ired of tourists who rarely venture outside their resorts, and who leave their wallets locked in the hotel-room safe, Aruba is moving to limit all-inclusive holiday packages.<\/p>\n

The Dutch Caribbean island, located 20 miles the north of Venezuela, has become one of the first places in the world to limit all-inclusive deals, which bundle accommodation, food, drinks and entertainment into one price. Regulations that came into effect in August cap all-inclusives at 40 percent of hotel rooms on the island. They currently make up about a third of the country\u2019s 5,500 rooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are moving away from the trend,\u201d Otmar Oduber, minister of Tourism, Aruba,\u00a0said in a telephone interview. \u201cIt\u2019s very important for us for tourism not to become a negative concept in the life of the people of Aruba.\u201d<\/p>\n
