Resort: Difference between revisions

A [[destination hotel|destination resort]] is a resort that contains, in and of itself, the necessary guest attraction capabilities—that is to say that a destination resort does not need to be near a destination (town, historic site, theme park, or other) to attract its public. A commercial establishment at a resort destination such as a recreational area, a scenic or historic site, a theme park, a gaming facility or other tourist attraction may compete with other businesses at a destination. Consequently, another quality of a destination resort is that it offers food, drink, lodging, sports and entertainment, and shopping within the facility so that guests have no need to leave the facility throughout their stay. 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 restaurants. Some examples are Atlantis in the [[Bahamas]], the [[Walt Disney World Resort]] near [[Orlando, Florida]], Costa do Sauípe in the [[Northeastern Brazil]], Laguna Phuket in [[Thailand]] and Sun City near Johannesburg in [[South Africa]]. promise
