Resort

A resort is a place used for relaxation or recreation. As a result, people tend to seek out a resort for holidays or vacations. Generally, a resort is distinguished by a large selection of activities such as food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment and shopping. A resort can commonly refer to two specific but similar places:

• towns in which tourism or vacationing is a major part of the local activity but are usually not run by a single company (for example, the city of Antalia in Turkey);

• vacation centres, usually run by a single company, which attempt to provide for all or most of a vacationer’s wants while staying there (for example, Whalt Disney World Resort).

The term “resort” is sometimes misused to identify a hotel that does not meet the requirements of a resort. However, a hotel is frequently the central feature of a resort.

Types of Resorts

1)Destination Resort

A resort is sometimes called a destination resort. This is a common usage when the facility provides food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment and shopping within the facility so that customers have no need to leave the facility once they arrive. Commonly these facilities are of higher quality than would be expected if one were to stay at a hotel or eat in a town’s restaurant.

There are also special kinds of resorts depending upon your desired activities. The most popular resorts in the world are seaside resorts, spa resorts, ski resorts and golf resorts.

2)All-inclusive Resort

An all-inclusive resort is a resort that, besides providing all of the common amenities of a resort, charges a fixed price that includes most or all items. At a minimum, most inclusive resorts include lodging, unlimited food, drinks, sports activities and entertainment for the fixed price.
