what is board and lodging

Board and lodging refers to the provision of food and a place to sleep. It is often provided as part of a package deal, such as when someone pays to stay somewhere, like a hotel or guest house. The term "lodging" refers to temporary accommodation without the provision of regular meals, while "boarding" includes both accommodation and regular meals. The term "boarding" is also used in the context of horse riding and agriculture to refer to the act of providing a place to stay and meals for horses, pets, or livestock. In some cases, board and lodging may be provided as part of an employment package, such as when employees are required to attend in-service courses of a duration of more than 30 days.
