Big resorts are built with the purpose of accommodating a hundred or even a thousand customers simultaneously, but most tourists come in without any idea how traffic and people movement in such a setting works. This is the greatest source of ignorance that causes guests to feel overworked, fatigued or frustrated during what is expected to be a pleasant stay. The size of the resort is not a source of stress, but jumping through the resort unplanned. Once the guests know how to move in common areas in a smart manner, the whole experience becomes less complicated and more enjoyable.

All resorts will have natural high-traffic areas like lobbies, eating areas, elevators and entertainment areas. There are patterns of crowds which are predictable in these areas during the day. Entry of guests into these areas during rush hours may result in queues, noise, and delays, which reduce comfort. Conversely, the guests that change their timings by a small margin by either moving earlier or later will have more peaceful rooms and quicker service. Knowledge regarding peak and off-peak times will turn busy areas into peaceful spaces with no additional effort being invested.

Another difficulty that affects the comfort of the guests is navigation. Big resorts usually have several wings, floors, and walkways which may get lost in the first time visitors. Visitors who are not used to the layouts might waste a lot of time walking around, moving in a back and forward direction or finding amenities. This causes physical exhaustion and psychological annoyance. Going over maps or looking at signage at the beginning of the stay assists the guests to move in a comfortable and effective manner. Navigation will enable the tourists to move around with minimal stress and enjoy themselves without fear of direction.

The planning of activities contributes significantly to the movement of guests. It is a natural attraction when there are popular places of attraction and facilities to draw a crowd, particularly when there is no time-consciousness among the guests. The congestion is soon reached when a number of guests are trying to use the same service at the same time. The visitors who pre-booking the time of activities or opting out to find other time intervals have a better access and easy times. Flow awareness is not an avoidance of activities but of selecting the appropriate time to get involved with it.

Internal movement in resorts is the other aspect that is mostly neglected. During rush hours, lifts and other internal transport systems are congested, especially during the check-in, eating, and event changeovers. The fact that you have to wait several times to get elevators or shuttles is frustrating and a waste of precious time to relax. Such small changes as coming to work a few minutes earlier or later can cause substantial delay reduction and consequent enhancement of comfort without affecting enjoyment.

Personal pacing is also a factor in the flow of guests in resorts. Most tourists are in a hurry to move around, trying to cram as many things as they can, hence becoming tired and annoyed. The design of resorts is specifically created in such a way that it promotes slow movement and exploration. When guests move slowly, give themselves enough time and relax, they will feel more positive towards the environment. The deceleration helps to increase awareness, decrease physical effort, and provide a higher level of satisfaction in general.

Finally, the awareness of guest flow is concerning control and serenity. At the time the guests comprehend how the people move within the resort, they become less responsive and becoming more in control of their experience. There is a reduction in stress, an augmentation of patience and increased enjoyment. Consciousness makes what could be an overwhelming resort ambience comfortable and welcoming.
