What does the Modified American Plan (MAP) typically include in the room rate?

The Modified American Plan (MAP) typically includes the room rate along with a breakfast and a main meal, normally dinner. This plan provides a convenient option for travelers who prefer some meals to be included in their accommodation cost, while also allowing for flexibility at other meal times. By covering both breakfast and dinner, MAP strikes a balance between offering guests sufficient nourishment throughout the day and allowing the freedom to explore local dining options or choose lighter meals during lunch or evening hours.

The inclusion of only breakfast would mean it aligns more closely with the Continental Plan, which does not offer a full meal package. Options that suggest all meals or only dinner do not accurately represent the features of the MAP, as it specifically covers breakfast and at least one additional meal, which is most commonly lunch or dinner.
