Locations are the second main entity in the system. A location can be a resort, a geographical entity or a sublevel to create a hierarchy. Accommodations are grouped in a location.
Typical resort structure (example):
Toplevel
- resort A
- resort B

Configurations which are common to do on a top-level and can be used for all sub-levels:
