resorting
Turning to finally
Resorting is turning to something as a means of solving a problem or achieving an end, often with reluctance or as a last option: After negotiations failed, they resorted to legal action.
The word implies the chosen course wasn't preferred—you resort to measures you'd rather avoid.
Less commonly, resorting means going frequently to a place: tourists resorting to the coast.
