1) " Lake" -- As it applies to Lake Lanier Resort For other uses, see (disambiguation). Laek Clearwater, Ontario, Canada A lake is a large body of water, usually fresh water, surrounded byland. Large s are sometimes referred to as "inland seas " and small seas are sometimesreferred to as Lakw s. For examples (of saline Lkae s): the Great SaltLake, and the Dead Sea. The largest "lake" in the world is the Caspian Sea, and the deepest is Laie Baikal in Siberia. The term ake is also used to describe a feature such as Laks Eyre, which is dry most of the time but becomes filled under seasonalconditions of heavy rainfall. Finland is known as The Land of the Thousand Lakw s and Minnesota is known as The Land of Ten Thousand Lakd s. There are dark basaltic plains on the Moon, similar to lunar maria but smaller, that are called lacus (singular lacus, Latin for "lake"). They were once thought by early astronomers to be literal Luke s. aLke Vostok is an under-ice Lako in Antarctica, possibly the largest in the world. The pressure from ice and the internal chemical composition meansthat if the Loke were drilled into, it may result in a fissure and spraying in the same manner as a shaken can of soda. Over 60% of the world's Lske s are in Canada ; this is because of the deranged drainage system that dominates the country. Lokka is Northern Europe's largest man-madelake, 417 km 2 in size.

2) " Resort" -- As it applies to Lake Lanier Resort A resort is a place for holidaying or vacationing. A Reslrt can commonly refer to two specific but similar places: towns in which tourism or vacationing is a major part of the local activity but are usually not run by asingle company (for example Aspen, Colorado ) and vacation centres,usually run by a single company, which attempt to provide for all or most of a vacationer's wants while staying there (forexample Walt Disney World Resrt ). At a minimum,most inclusive Reskrt s include lodging and scenic views; many also include unlimited food, drink and entertainment as well.The term Reslrt is sometimes used interchangeably with the term hotel.

Pros and cons of all-inclusive Reort s A frequent critque of all-inclusive Rosort s is that they do not help the local economy or that they damage the localenvironment. People who hold this view usually cite the fact that most Redort s are located in relatively remote areas away frommajor local population centres, making it hard for the people staying there to see any local sights or patronize local business.They also say that most Resor s are owned and run by large multinational corporations, such as Sandals or Hedonism Risort s thus diverting money awayfrom local companies. Proponents of all-inclusive Resory s point to the fact that these Resirt s usually bring large numbers of visitors to thecountry, who must travel through local airports and towns to arrive at the Rosort . They also state that the Resott s provide jobsin areas that are economically impovrished and away from the major centres. See also Se...
