This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

A '''resort town''', '''resort city''' or '''resort destination''' is an urban area where [[tourism]] or [[vacation]]ing is the primary component of the local culture and [[economy]].  A typical resort town has one or more actual [[resort]]s in the surrounding area. Sometimes the term ''resort town'' is used simply for a locale popular among tourists. One task force in British Columbia used the definition of an incorporated or unincorporated contiguous area where the ratio of transient rooms, measured in bed units, is greater than 60% of the permanent population.<ref name="gov.bc.ca">((cite report|url=http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ftp/Mountain_Resorts/external/!publish/Web/transition_report.pdf|title=Transitions: Planning, Servicing, and Local Governance in BC's Resort Communities|date=December 2004|volume=1: Best Practices Project|publisher=Government of British Columbia))</ref>

Generally, tourism is the main export in a resort town economy, with most residents of the area working in the tourism or resort industry. [[Retail|Shops]] and luxury [[boutique]]s selling locally themed [[souvenir]]s, [[motel]]s, and unique [[restaurant]]s often proliferate the downtown areas of a resort town.

In the case of the United States, resort towns were created around the late 1800s and early 1900s with the development of early town-making.<ref name="Crewe, Katherine 2011">Crewe, Katherine. "Chandler's Hotel San Marcos: The Resort Impact on a Rural Town." Journal of Urban Design 16.1 (2011): 87-104. Academic Search Premier. Web. 3 November 2014.</ref> Many resort towns feature ambitious architecture, romanticizing their location, and dependence on cheap labor.<ref name="Crewe, Katherine 2011"/>

==Resort town economy==
If the resorts or [[tourist attractions]] are seasonal in nature (such as a [[ski resort]]), resort towns typically experience an ''on-season'' where the town is bustling with tourists and workers, and an ''off-season'' where the town is populated only by a small amount of local year-round residents.

In addition, resort towns are often popular with wealthy [[Retirement|retirees]] and people wishing to purchase [[vacation home]]s, which typically drives up [[property value]]s and the [[cost of living]] in the region. Sometimes, resort towns can become [[boomtown]]s due to the quick development of retirement and vacation-based residences.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.travelnevada.com/story.asp?sid=41|title=Nevada Commission on Tourism<!-- Bot generated title -->|website=travelnevada.com|access-date=3 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311112935/http://www.travelnevada.com/story.asp?sid=41|archive-date=11 March 2007|url-status=dead))</ref>

However, most of the employment available in resort towns are typically low paying and it can be difficult for workers to afford to live the area in which they are employed.<ref>Thrane, Christer. "Earnings differentiation in the tourism industry: Gender, human capital and socio-demographic effects." Tourism Management 29.3 (2008): 514-524.</ref> Many resort towns have spawned nearby [[bedroom communities]] where the majority of the resort workforce lives.

Resorts towns sometimes struggle with problems regarding [[sustainable growth]], due to the seasonal nature of the economy, the dependence on a single industry, and the difficulties in retaining a stable workforce.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.matr.net/article-11836.html|title=MATR News: Resort towns struggle with growth|date=26 August 2004|access-date=10 August 2015))</ref>

== Economic impact of tourism ==
Local residents are generally receptive of the economic impacts of tourism. Resort towns tend to enjoy lower unemployment rates, improved infrastructure, more advanced telecommunication and transportation capabilities, and higher standards of living and greater income in relation to those who live outside this area.<ref name="TATOĞLU, Assist Prof EKREM 1998">TATOĞLU, Assist Prof EKREM, et al. "Resident perceptions of the impact of tourism in a Turkish resort town." Leisure Sciences (1998): 745-755.</ref> Increased economic activity in resort towns can also have positive effects on the country's overall economic growth and development. In addition, business generated by resort towns have been credited with supporting the local economy through times of national [[market failure]] and depression.<ref name="Crewe, Katherine 2011"/>

In a study conducted by the Urban and Regional Planning Department of Istanbul Technical University, 401 local residents in the resort community of [[Antalya]] were interviewed and asked to give their opinion on the economic impacts of tourism. Among the participants, 67% had lived in Antalya for over ten years, 66% had at least a high school degree, and 30% reported jobs that were related to tourism.<ref>Korça, Perver. "Resident Perceptions of Tourism in a Resort Town." Leisure Sciences 20.3 (1998): 193. Academic Search Premier. Web. 3 November 2014.</ref> The results are as follows:

More recently, resort towns have come under greater scrutiny by local communities. Instances where resort towns are poorly managed have adverse effects on the local economy. One example is the uneven distribution of income and land ownership between local residents and businesses. During tourist season, increased demand for accommodation may raise the price of land, causing a simultaneous increase in rent for local residents whose income in invariably lower than foreign residents.<ref name="TATOĞLU, Assist Prof EKREM 1998"/> This results in a preponderance of foreigners in the land market and an erosion of economic opportunities for local residents.

The revenues amassed from tourism typically do not benefit the host country or the local communities. Income to local communities generated by tourism are all of the expenditures accrued after taxes, profits, and wages are paid out; however, around 80% of traveler's expenditures go to airlines, hotels, and international companies, not to local businesses.<ref name=unep1>((cite web|url=http://www.unep.org/resourceefficiency/Business/SectoralActivities/Tourism/FactsandFiguresaboutTourism/ImpactsofTourism/EconomicImpactsofTourism/NegativeEconomicImpactsofTourism/tabid/78784/Default.aspx|title=Negative Economic Impacts of Tourism|website=United Nations Environment Programme|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016232725/http://www.unep.org/resourceefficiency/Business/SectoralActivities/Tourism/FactsandFiguresaboutTourism/ImpactsofTourism/EconomicImpactsofTourism/NegativeEconomicImpactsofTourism/tabid/78784/Default.aspx|archive-date=16 October 2013))</ref> These funds are referred to as [[Leakage effect|leakages]]. Tourism has also been blamed for other negative economic impacts to local communities. Although resort towns usually boast more improved infrastructure than surrounding areas, these developments usually present high costs to local governments and tax payers.<ref name=unep1/> Reallocating government funds to subsidize infrastructure and tax breaks to firms shift available funding to local education and health services. In addition, resort towns typically do not have dynamic economies, resulting in an over dependence on one industry. Economic dependence on tourism poses particular challenges to resort towns and its local residents given the seasonal nature of the job market in some areas.<ref name=unep1/> Local residents of resort towns face job insecurity, difficulties in obtaining training, medical-benefits, and housing.
