INTRODUCTION
A resort is a place where families intend to spend their holidays or weekends for relaxation or recreation.
Usually resorts are commercial establishments like hotels which are managed by companies. People in
urban areas are especially busy all through the week and look for ways to refresh and rejuvenate
themselves. Resorts are the perfect place for such people who can happily spend time with their families
and also getaway places for birthday parties and theme parties. They are usually located away from the
hustle bustle of cities and towns. People can go for long drives and reach the resort which is generally self-
contained.

Several companies for the benefit of their employees reserve weekend resorts. These resorts offer the right
ambience and encourage the employees to participate in several group activities and events. This kind of
mingling among the employees brings in close association among themselves and in turn improves the
relations in offices.
