resort city
Tourist beach municipality
A resort city is a city whose economy centers on tourism and leisure, typically offering beaches, skiing, casinos, or other attractions that draw visitors.
Unlike a resort—a self-contained destination—a resort city is a functioning municipality where tourism dominates: Las Vegas is America's most famous resort city.
The term often implies seasonal population swings and service-industry employment.
