Facilities, infrastructure, transportation, and hospitality resources are needed in a supportive role to attractions and events. Some facilities have a dual role as attractions and facilities (i. e. resort) One that is attractive enough to be the primary motivation for tourism visits and aimed at satisfying visitors for several days. An interesting or necessary place to visit on the way to a primary destination and aimed at satisfying visitors for one or two days. Even attractions (short duration, location can be changed) The drawing power is the distance from which an attraction can attract attendance (regional, international, etc) Necessary to serve visitors while they are away from their homes.
