A resort in Africa is a venue for recreation or leisure. As a result, holiday makers are inclined to look for a resort for a certain type of relaxing vacations. Usually, a resort is selected for the great range of activities such as sport, gambling, entertainment, shopping, and adventures that it offers the guests. Food, drink, and lodging usually support all the activities on offer. Most resort type properties base their accommodation on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. There are resort towns in which tourism or vacationing is a major part of the local activity but are usually not run by a single company. Many African coastal towns, mountains or hubs along national parks are regarded as resorts. Vacation centres, usually run by a single company, which attempt to provide for all or most of a vacationer's wants while staying there (for example Sun City Resort). A hotel is frequently the central feature of a resort. An all-inclusive resort is a resort that, besides providing all of the common amenities of a resort, charges a fixed price that includes most or all items. At a minimum, most inclusive resorts include lodging, unlimited food, drink, safari activities, and entertainment for the fixed price. All-inclusive resorts usually bring large numbers of visitors to the
country, who must travel through local airports and towns to arrive at
the resort. These resorts provide jobs in African areas that are economically
impoverished and away from the major centres.
