Developing Hospitality Properties and Facilities, Second Edition
Developing Hospitality Properties and Facilities sets out some of the key issues in developing hospitality properties from the hospitality manager’s perspective. From the original concept, through each part of the process, it provides an essential guide for students and professionals on how to manage hospitality facilities to their best effect, using a model-based insight into the process in an informed, but non-technical way.
Now in its second edition, this successful text has been updated with new international case studies from companies such as MyTravel, Disneyland Paris Hotel, Elysium Beach Resort Cyprus and many others. It also includes new chapters from well-known authors. With contributions from both academics and practitioners, this book looks at design, building issues, operational relationships, and therefore provides the hospitality manager with insight into how these areas work and what they need to know in order to get the best out of them.
* The only text that bridges the gap between generic and applied texts for students and practitioners in hospitality and tourism
* Updated with international case studies such as Disneyland Paris, Radisson SAS, Brussels and Elysium Beach Resort, Cyprus
* New contributions from acclaimed authors and figures in the industry, such as Richard Penner and Jan de Roos, Cornell University, USA

This book is not appropriate for anyone seeking knowledge of hotel development in the United States. The authors are British and the book is written for the European audience. The U.S. reader is not even extended the courtesy of dual imperial and metric measures; room dimensions are in meters and financial figures are presented in pounds. In addition, many of the cited references are dated, the graphics are hard to read, and the book is cheaply printed. -

First a few words for the reader of Austin: is not so difficult to convert British pounds to $, or meters to foots…….
I don’t think is fair to “fail” a book just because it does not use the metric system of your country (one more among the hundreds of countries around the world)Besides, I have enjoyed very much this book, and as a Hotel management postgraduate and professional I have to say that is very useful and complete for:
a) Learning more about the considerations you need to take into account when building hotels, as well as how cost evolve depending on a number of factors
b) A perfect base for a hotel development course - Comment Feed for this Post
