I recently discovered this community and I'm enjoying it, but I have no clue what 'risa' stands for.
Risa is a pleasure planet in the show. Basically a planet that bases its entire economy on tourism and pleasing others. In all ways. Yes. Even that one.

It was an "all things go" planet that was first discovered in the original series, and then all ships started using it as their shore leave vacation spot.

tl:dr: It's a popular tourist destination within the Federation; where normally staid and serious Starfleet crew go to let their hair down.
