Tourism & Travel / resorts | | English term or phrase: destination resorts | original texts:
Some resorts are “destination resorts”; these tend to be in dramatic, desirable locations such as Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Hotel guests tend to have to travel at least several hundred miles to reach such a resort, and travel is typically by air. Visits to destination resorts tend to be infrequent, usually once a year or less.
English definition needed, too. Thx! |

English Definition:
Destination resort
A 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. Consequently, another characteristic of a destination resort is that it offers food, drink, lodging, sports, 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, Costa do Sauípe in the Northeastern Brazil, Laguna Phuket in Thailand and Sun City near Johannesburg in South Africa.
