  Resort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Towns that contain resorts -- or where tourism or vacationing is a major part of the local activity -- are often called resort towns.
The term resort is sometimes misused to identify a hotel that does not provide the other amenities required of a resort.
Resorts are especially prevalent in Central America and the Caribbean.

 Resort town - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A resort town, sometimes called a resort destination, is a town or area where tourism or vacationing is a primary component of the local culture and economy.
If the resorts or tourist attractions are seasonal in nature (such as a ski resort), resort towns typically experience a on-season where the town is bustling with tourists and workers, and an off-season where the town is populated only by a small amount of local year-round residents.
Resorts towns sometimes struggle with problems regarding sustainable growth [3], due to the seasonal nature of the economy, the dependence on a single industry, and the difficulties in retaining a stable workforce.
