Introduction

Hotels sited on a coast are highly sought after because of their proximity to the sea and the convenience of staying in one are many; from breathing sea air and strolling on the beach to swimming in the ocean and doing water sports activities. Because the demand for these types of hotels on the coast has risen, the tourism industry responded with building structures catering to all sorts of accommodation from affordable inns to luxurious hotels.

History

The first hotels in the world were private houses with the owners offering rooms to weary travelers. As modernization took place, hotels sprung in various places. There are several types of hotels from resorts and boutique style hotels to tree houses and ice hotels. However, the coast always attracted visitors because of the sea and soon people began buying properties along the coastline as vacation homes or second residences. Investors started building hotels on the coast where people could stay during holidays. The beach or water front is considered prime location because of the majestic views of the ocean, invigorating sea breeze, and picturesque sceneries.
