Resort hotels (Part I)
Resort hotels came of age with the advent of rail travel. Increasingly, City dwellers and others had the urge to vacation in locations they found appealing. Traveling to these often more-exotic locations became a part Of the pleasure experience. In the late 1800s, luxury resort hotels were developed to accommodate the clientele that the railways brought.
Such hotels include the famous Greenbrier at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, The Hotel del Coronado in Coronado (near San Diego), California, and the Homestead at Hot Springs, Virginia. In Canada, the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise drew the rich and famous of the day to their picturesque locations in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
The leisure and pleasure travelers of those days were drawn by resorrts, beaches, or spectacular mountain scenery. At first, many of these grand resorts were seasonal. However, as automobile and air travel made even the remote resorts more accessible and an increasing number of people could afford to visit, many resorts became year-round properties.
Resort communities sprang up in the sunshine belt from Palm Springs to Palm Beach. Some resorts focused on major sporting activities Rich as skiing, golf, or fishing; others offered family vacations. Further Improvements in both air and automobile travel brought exotic locations Within the reach of the population. Europe, the Caribbean, and Mexico became more accessible. As the years passed, some of the resorts suffered because the public's vacation plans changed.
The traditional family month-long resort vacation gave way to shorter, more frequent getaways of four to seven days. The regular resort Visitors became older; in general, the younger guests preferred the mobility of the automobile and the more informal atmosphere provided by the newer and more informal resorts.
In order to survive, the resort hotels became more astute in marketing to different types of guests. For example, some resorts allow no children in the high season because they would interfere with the quiet ambiance for guests who do not want the noise of children. Other resort hotels |0 out of their way to encourage families; Camp Hyatt is a prominent example. Hyatt hotels have organized a program consisting of a variety of activities for children, thereby giving the parents an opportunity to either enjoy some free tune on their own or join their children in some fun activities. Many resort hotels began to attract conventions, conferences, and meetings. This enabled them to maintain or increase occupancy, particularly during the low and shoulder seasons [1, 96-97].
