Which term best describes a resort property designed to attract visitors through a concentration of resources?

• A. Destination resort
• B. Ecotourism
• C. Distribution
• D. Disposable income

Answer: (A)

A destination resort describes a property designed to attract visitors by concentrating a wide range of resources in one place, creating a self-contained travel experience. This term fits because the resort aims to lure guests with integrated lodging, dining, entertainment, and recreation clustered together, often encouraging longer stays and making the location a true travel destination.

Ecotourism refers to travel focused on natural areas with an emphasis on conservation and education, not specifically about a single resort’s clustering of resources. Distribution is about how goods and services reach customers, a logistics/marketing concept rather than a type of resort. Disposable income is the amount of money a person has available to spend after taxes, not a description of a resort’s design or purpose.
