As compared to facilities offered when one is to stay at a hotel or eat in a restaurant, destination resorts are of higher quality (Stone, n.d.).
The main managerial roles in resorts are Front-of-House management and the Heart-of-House Management with the latter including areas that support the former.

Lodging facilities are diverse in nature because of the divergent kind of services and amenities they provide to their customers. Managers of these various types of lodging facilities have different roles depending on the type of lodging facility and services provided.
