Brilio.net/en - Generally, a hotel will offer luxury facilities for guests. In a bizarre case of reverse psychology, this hotel provides the chance for the guests to feel the sensation of living in an atmosphere akin to a slum.
As quoted from Atlas Obscura (24/11), Emoya Estates built the Shanty Town, a resort which resembles the concept of a slum. As the name implies, the resort in Shanty Town looks like makeshift housing commonly found in poor areas.
