A resort is an establishment with activities for visitors, together with dining and accommodation for a prolonged stay.
Resort activities can be winter sport, horse riding, agritourism, gambling, spas, golf, beaches, a zoo or an amusement park.
UnderstandA resort town is a city or district dominated by tourist venues; the main attraction can be beaches, winter sports or pleasant upland climate in otherwise hot seasons or areas, and/or gambling.

Get inMost package trips to resorts include the flight to the nearest airport, often on "holiday charter" airlines.
