Resort Tourism

A resort is a place used for relaxation or recreation, attracting visitors for holidays or vacations. Resorts are places, towns or sometimes commercial establishments operated by a single company. Such a self-contained resort attempts to provide for most of a vacationer's wants while remaining on the premises, such as food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping.

The term "resort" sometimes is misused to identify a hotel that does not provide the other amenities required of a full resort. However, a hotel is frequently a central feature of a resort, such as the Grand Hotel at Mackinac Island, Michigan. A resort is not merely a commercial establishment operated by a single company, although in the late twentieth century this sort of facility became more common.

I love watching the waves hitting the rocks

Hi!

This is one of the photographs I took when I visited a small town on Galicia's north coast. I love watching the sea, the big waves hitting the rocks. It's wonderfull. I love the strength of the sea, the breeze, in general: the power of nature.

¿Do you like it too? or do you prefer laying on the beach on a calm day? Do you like both options?

Tell me about it, please.

The waterfall photo is not mine. I haven't been there, for the moment. What a pity! But I hope to go soon.

If some of you have been in a place like this, please, tell us about it: the exact location and if it's as beautiful as everybody thinks. Is it worth visiting those places?

I don't know if there are lots of places like this, but I hope so, because when you admire its beauty we realize how important it is to look after the environment.

What do you think?

Welcome!

Hello everybody!

This is a blog for writing in English. I know it's always very difficult to write in another language different from your own when you are learning, but it's a question of practice. So I've created this blog for you to practise. If you are a Tourism student or a student of any other career, you are welcome to this place to write in English whatever you want: comments about the English subject, or any other subject; experiences travelling around the world, or around your country, you ideas about whatever you want, ...

Express yourself in English. Don't worry about if you are doing well or not, just write. Everybody can make comments to your writings, so you'll improve anyway.

Don't worry if you think what you have to say is not very interesting: everything is interesting, expressing in English is interesting and important for you, so do it.

I hope you write something soon.
