resort town
Tourist-focused municipality
A resort town is a community whose economy centers on tourism and recreation, typically offering lodging, restaurants, and entertainment for visitors.
Resort towns develop around attractions—beaches, ski slopes, hot springs, casinos: Aspen is a resort town that swells with skiers each winter.
Many have small permanent populations that multiply during peak season.
