Introduction[]
"Welcome to the Resort Empire Association! You're here to build up your business and make your own empire.[]
You can build your resort inside the sand tiles. To earn income, you should build rooms for the visitors to stay. There are two types of tiles: walkable and unwalkable. Grass tiles are the only tiles that can carry a tree or plant on it. Purchase any resort upgrade to unlock a new building. Explore the other menus such as the facility, janitor room, quick destroy, and expand area, and build even more things for your resort! Now you're ready to build your own resort. Complete all your missions and make your resort the greatest in the world :)"
Gameplay[]
The player uses the mouse to select and place booths in the resort area. In the same manner, they can also place tiles for decoration or to give visitors access to the different booths. Over time, visitors come to the resort and may stay in the accommodations or use the facilities, which earns the player some money. Players use the money they earn to build additional booths or upgrade existing ones that attract more visitors.
The game plays continuously, with a statistics screen appearing at the end of each day that can be toggled on or off. The statistics screen provides a detailed report of the day's expenses and earnings, and the player's overall profit for that day. When the day ends, the game auto-saves, allowing players to continue their game to the next day.

Visitors arrive to the resort in either singles or pairs. Some visitors will book a room, which allows them to spend more money and stay longer in the resort. Other visitors enter the resort to solely use the facilities. When a visitor is pressed or viewed in the visitor menu, a window appears containing information about the visitor including their name, current activity, current mood, whether they have booked a room and which day they booked it, how much money they possess, and their "Likes".
Visitor information
Likes[]
Each visitor has a Likes list displaying preferred booths to use. Single and special visitors usually have 5 Likes, while pairs have 6, with the exception of single visitor #16 who has 6 Likes. The first Like specifies the preferred room type, either Cottage or Lodge, and the remaining Likes specify the preferred facilities. If the Likes of a visitor are not offered by the resort, the visitor may use other facilities but a long stay with a good mood are not guaranteed.
