Ontario Resorts: Types of Ontario Resorts Vacation Travel

Ontario resort types can vary depending on one's definition of a resort.  Many destinations in Ontario are resort destinations from an international travellers point of view.  This is a broader view of a geographic area.  Over time a resort industry in tourist destinations has evolved.  Often, a resort location has become associated with the name of a specific resort operation. See the many Ontario resort members of Ontario Travel North of Toronto website. Historically one can trace the resort industry back into the late 1800's with several resorts still operating today.  Most notably are the resorts north of Toronto. 

Photo:  Chippawa Cottage Beach Resort Sunset over Lake Kamaniskeg:  This is a second and third generation family resort operated by the Dunn Family. The destination is north of Bancroft, South of Barry's Bay in the Ottawa Valley.
