resort community
Leisure destination settlement
A resort community is a town or neighborhood built around recreational amenities—beaches, ski slopes, golf courses, or lakes.
Residents may live there year-round, but the population swells seasonally with vacationers.
Aspen started as a mining town before becoming a resort community.
The term often implies upscale development and tourism-dependent economics.
