Description
This book provides a complete guide to the development of hotels and resorts, covering all aspects of planning, market analysis, interior
design and the installation of technical services.
Fred Lawson's text is concise and the information easy to access. He examines the
distinctive characteristics of different hotel types, identified by market and location, and specifies the special requirements of each
type. Recognising the need for continuous maintenance and life-cycle refurbishment, a full chapter is devoted to these subjects and
the business aspects of the hotel operation are considered. Throughout the book are numerous illustrations of projects showing outstanding
examples of hotels and village resorts as well as current trends in design and development. Fred Lawson is well known as an hotel consultant
and is now Visiting Professor at the University of Bournemouth. He has a number of successful books to his credit. As a leading international
consultant he has been involved in major hotel and tourism projects in 35 countries including assignments for the World Bank, EC, UNDP
