CLASSIFICATION OF RESORTS According to Activity Offered

Diving Resort
Fishing Resort
Health/Spa
Golf Resort
Ski Resort
Gaming Resort
Theme Park

CLASSIFICATION OF RESORTS According to Ownership/Lodging Properties

Resort Hotel- Person leases the room/cottage for transient stay

Second-Home Development- Person develops/buys another home in outdoor
areas
Timeshare Ownership- Person pays for the right to accommodations at a
vacation development for a specified period each year, for a specified number of
years or for perpetuity. It is essentially buying accomodation in advance & paying
annual contributions for maintenance

Resort Planning

Each resort area is unique but some basic principles apply to the planning of most
resorts. The concept of land use zoning is applicable to resorts. A basic principle is
conservation of specific environmental features such as beaches, marine areas,
ponds, lakes, lagoons, archaeological and historic sites, large trees and group of
tree, unusual geological features and hill tops. Related to this conservation is
maintenance of view planes and corridors so that there are views of important
features form the building in the final development.

Also important functional grouping of resort facilities and activities, such as

accommodation, commercial and cultural facilities (often in an integrated and
pedestrian oriented resort center), and recreation facilities, in suitable areas.
Accommodation should be well related to the main resort attractions such as
beaches but not impinging on them. Hotels, for example, should be sited well back
from the beach so that the natural shoreline appearance is maintained and erosion
is avoided, but within convenient walking distance from the beach.

Resorts should have controlled access and an efficient but not high-speed road
network. Emphasis should be on pedestrians in the resort and, in larger resorts,
use of non-polluting vehicles such as small battery operated buses to provide

 general transport within the resort grounds. Public access to the resort should be
allowed on a controlled basis including to the main attraction features such as
beaches and historic places.
