There are several different types of locations and properties that can be classified as destinations. Although each of these locations may share some of the same activities, facilities, and amenities, the operational issues they face, such as staffing, meeting varying guest expectations, and managing cash flows, will differ depending on geographic location, size, markets served, and primary season of operation.
