miami

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

'foreign resort' is the definition.
'miami' can be an answer for 'resort' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'foreign' bit.

'hoskins is getting train north-bound' is the wordplay.
'hoskins is' becomes 'I'm' (where the crossword setter is 'Hoskins').
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'train' becomes 'aim' (synonyms).
'north-bound' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, letters go up or 'north').
'im'+'aim'='imaim'
'imaim' back-to-front is 'MIAMI'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for miami that I've seen before include "Port in Florida" , "Sunshine city in SE Florida" , "Popular city in SE Florida" , "state" , "I put out of action when returning" .)
