Hotel Industry Information
Resort hotels and motels offer luxurious surroundings with a variety of recreational
facilities such as swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courts, gamerooms, and
health spas, as well as planned social activities and entertainment. Resorts
are located primarily in vacation destinations near mountains, the seashore,
or other attractions. As a result, the business of many resorts fluctuates with
the season. Some resort hotels and motels provide additional convention and
conference facilities to encourage customers to combine business with pleasure.
During their off season, these establishments solicit conventions, sales meetings,
and incentive tours to fill their otherwise empty rooms.
Lodging Tips & Questions
All-suite facilities, especially popular with business travelers, offer a living
room and a bedroom. These accommodations are aimed at travelers who require lodging
for extended stays, families traveling with children, and business people needing
to conduct small meetings without the expense of renting an additional room.
