Because of the rapid globalisation and easy access from one country to another, cross-border
tourism has got a new momentum in this century. It is now very much easy and the process is
very much simple to travel to foreign countries. Though the developing countries are yet
struggling at this, the developed and mid-developed countries are opening their borders for
foreign visitors by providing visa-free opportunities (Andrades and Dimanche, 2019). Based
on the tourism and hospitality sector, there are a huge number of resorts, hotels, motels, and
restaurants in the UK. In this report, the different features of some common resorts in the UK
and some potential challenges and operational issues will be discussed along with the

LO1
Different types of resorts and their challenging issues
Resorts are a self-contained residential institution that aims to supply much of the needs of a
tourist on the property, like food, beverage, housing, leisure, recreation, and shopping.
Property that offers an assortment of facilities usually containing recreation and leisure
opportunities, the phrase resort is used (Bachvarov, 2016). Few other resorts are as well
townhouse structures which are rentals or owed marginally lower or fully owned townhouse.
Resorts are often not an industrial institution run by a singular corporation, but this type of
facility has become more popular in recent years. Depending on the geographical
characteristics and demand, different types of resorts have emerged. Different types of resorts
with their characteristics have been discussed below;
Ski Resort
A facility built for skiing, ice skating, as well as other mountain sports is known as a ski
resort. Some ski resorts throughout Europe are cities or communities in or next to a skiing
range, a snowy region with slopes, and a rack of ski ramps. It is more popular for ski
destinations to occur far away from cities in the United States; therefore this type of resort is
typically vacation resorts, mostly intent and conscience, where the key event is skiing. These
are found all over the world, excluding Antarctica (Bhat, et al. 2015). As they need a wide
drop, they are usually situated on hills. They have to obtain a minimum of 50 cm of ice as
well. Ski regions have designated routes, such as courses, trails, or slopes, for skiing. Usually,
ski resorts include one or two chairlifts that move people to the peak of mountains easily, as
well as to interlink the paths. Rope threads could be found on shorter slopes as well. For
transportation over broader ranges inside the ski zone, larger ski areas could have chairlift
lifts or aviation trams. Ski resorts are facing issue of scheduled maintenance and high cost of
investments are also required. In these type of resorts various people gets hurt and in this
manner while skiing various people face injuries as well.
In order to be safe, every ski resort has to have marked routes and exclude the unmarked
routes, which are not secure.
In bigger ski resorts, they offer shuttle bus, when the distance between the valleys is more
than 500 meters.
One of the most popular ski resorts is Whistler Blackcomb, located just two hours drive from
Vancouver and it is Canada’s premium Ski resort.
It has more than 200 runs and 37 lifts.
This resort welcomes everyone, as it offers activities for families, organize big events like
birthday parties and weddings. Despite that it is ski resort, it provide adventures in winter and
summer .
