Descriptive of special treatment favoured by Yorkshire resort

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red carpet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'descriptive of special treatment' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'favoured by yorkshire resort' is the wordplay.
'favoured' becomes 'pet' (as in a pet project).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'yorkshire resort' becomes 'redcar' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pet' after 'redcar' is 'RED CARPET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for red carpet that I've seen before include "It's rolled out for special guests" , "base for celebrities" , "Welcoming walkway" , "Welcoming ground cover" , "special welcome" .)
