A resort is a tourist hotel complex with an offer that goes beyond the accommodation business . Resorts can be found both in the price-conscious mass tourism sector and in upscale tourism (e.g. in the 5-star category , which is also called residence there). In addition to the hotel business, villas of different standards are often offered in resorts .

Resorts usually have extensive sports, garden, dining and leisure facilities. There are resorts, among others, with a focus on beach holiday, amusement park (eg. Walt Disney World Resort ), sports (eg. Diving - golf - or ski -resort) or health (eg. Spa - or spa - Resort).

In many holiday areas, resorts are closed and guarded facilities with access control .
