Resort Planning
Each resort area is unique but some basic principles apply to the planning of most
resorts. The concept of land use zoning is applicable to resorts. A basic principle is
conservation of specific environmental features such as beaches, marine areas,
ponds, lakes, lagoons, archaeological and historic sites, large trees and group of
tree, unusual geological features and hill tops. Related to this conservation is
maintenance of view planes and corridors so that there are views of important
features form the building in the final development.
Resorts should have controlled access and an efficient but not high-speed road
network. Emphasis should be on pedestrians in the resort and, in larger resorts,
use of non-polluting vehicles such as small battery operated buses to provide

allowed on a controlled basis including to the main attraction features such as
beaches and historic places.
