P1 Types of Resorts Along with Their Managerial Issues
There are various types of resorts that are operating within the hospitality industries, on
the basis of the type of services they provide to the hospitality customers and the needs which
these resorts satisfy. Some of these are as follows:
Beach Resorts: These types of resorts are located directly on or in close proximity to a beach,
which not only highlights and increases its attractiveness amongst the consumers within the
hospitality markets, but also allows for these resorts to offer dedicated extracurricular activities
such as surfing, snorkelling, swimming and a huge variety of water sports to its customers.
Certain luxurious beach resorts can also own or partially own a part of the beach making the
entire property private, which further increases their value and attractiveness within the
hospitality industries. Such beach resorts have become immensely popular through their ability
to provide various distinct recreational and pleasurable activities through their stand alone
operations within the hospitality industries, as when availing the services of these beach resorts,
the customers do not have to worry about additional parameters for their vacations such as daily
commute to the beach, their physical safety while at beach, renting equipment for water sports
etc.
