Cleanup[edit]

I made some major changes to this page starting with using the dictionary definition of a resort. It still could use more work, but I strongly believe that it is a more accurate article now. I believe that the pros and cons of an all inclusive resort should be removed since that is not something that should be in an encyclopedia and may not really be a NPOV. I also included more types of resorts that could use some filling in. I'm sure I missed others since ski resorts should probably have an entry. Vegaswikian 21:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There's been a basic confusion about the very definition of "resort." The article apparently was written thinking of "resort hotel," particularly large, modern establishments that are self-contained so as to provide every facility for vacationers. But resorts are more generally PLACES, not commercial establishments. Newport, RI, for example, has never had a hotel of any consequence, but has long been a major American resort.Phmalo 00:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A Hotel Resort is planned and managed green, including all energy questions (production and recovery). A resort is located ouside cities or villages, in a well maintained nature. When this is not status, such a property does not deserve the name Resort. Some properties or management companies add this work to their names; this leads to confusion, should not be allowed when approved and potential guests will rate such properties of management companies appearing acting unseriously. One dilemma as well is, that authorities that check and approve categorization 3-4 or 5 stars, do not check the addition Resort - and this should be changed.

IP spamming[edit]

The article has a short block to stop IP spamming. If it continues after the block ends, I'll block it again for a longer period of time. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

This really needs a history, preferably with citations. Resorts started well before the 19th century. Bath, Somerset, for example. Student7 (talk) 14:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

North American English[edit]

If the intro is going to define the term as "North American English", then it is necessary to include whatever other terms are used elsewhere for the same thing. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 13:06, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In British English the word usually means a town or village rather than a hotel or group of hotels and subsidiary buildings; i.e.it is what this article refers to later on as a resort town. A famous use of the word is in Wilde's "Importance of being earnest": "...Worthing.It is a seaside resort in Sussex." I can't really add anything along these lines to the article however as I don't have a suitable reference. My dictionary (the Concise Oxford" simply refers to "a place frequented especially for holidays or for a specified purpose or quality" Can anybody more expert than me provide a reference. The additional text required after the first paragraph would be something like "In British English the word resort means a town rather than a building or small collection of buildings as is described below under the heading "resort towns."
