Hotel Development-From Inception to Operation
Analysis
Glamour and luxury…………..
Images of an elegant and luxurious hotel, glimmering in the sun on a white sandy beach, surrounded by palm trees gently swaying in the warm breeze evokes in most, if not all of us, dreamy thoughts of glamour, relaxation, pampering and absolute delight.
Those in the industry know very well that whilst this is the experience, the hotel personnel strive hard to provide for their guests, achieving this requires extreme hard work and dedication by the operator and hotel staff.
But this hard work doesn't start and end there - this is the public face of the hotel.
The ‘private' life of the hotel starts long before the first guest checks in. In many respects, the development process (which commences with identification of a development opportunity and ends with completion of the finished product), is equally as difficult and demanding.
