How can owners and managers ensure that their considerable capital investments will return a competitive return on their investments? How can users and owners be sure they enjoy the promises of tantalizing marketing and real estate claims? Managing Sustainable Resorts Profitably combines business management principles with environmental and social concerns to offer development solutions to these questions. By taking an holistic and contemporary approach to the problem of developing sustainable tourism operations, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the strategies that need to be considered by various governments, developers and, in particular, the customer-investor. The major features of resort development covered by this book include: • Environmental scanning of principal external and internal influential factors • The curse and blessings of seasonality • Competition for people’s recreation and retirement dollars • Guest activity programming • Environmental issues • Cruise ships as mobile resorts • Staffing issues in isolated areas • Financial challenges for owners and operators alike • Risk Management • Mutually beneficial options for various stakeholders Based on an analysis of global resort opportunities and trends, the book focuses on those generic features that differentiate regional resort management from urban-centric management needs and priorities. Using comparative case studies the author emphases best case/benchmark examples of a range of resorts – large and small, urban and rural - to illustrate what can be achieved.

"In the case of classic hotels, development and management funcitons are generally treated as separate subjects. Resorts are different. The resort business is built on the fulfillment of dreams and desires, while classic hotels focus on necessity and convenience in serving business travelers. Resort development is not a one-time activity, ending with the opening of the resort, but is rather an ongoing process and a planning responsibility of management on behalf of ownership. The variables of a resort are many. A resort's products go beyond the simple provision of lodging, food, and beverage - although these hospitality basics must not only be provided, but given special attention by resorts. Each variable - type and scope of resort, location, seasonlity, range of recreation and amenities, forms of ownership, and other development-related aspects - will have a significant effect on the work of management. Becuase resorts cater to the leisure traveler, whose wants are diverse and fluid, so management must constantly keep abreast of emerging trends that shape guest preferences and create market appeal. Continual reinvestment in the resort plant or investment into new ROI projects is the price of competition in the resort world. Successful resorts, whether a single resort estate or an entire destination, remain perpetual works in progress. Managers who understand the development process will have greater appreciation of the reinvestment costs required to keep a resort attractive enough to retain current guests and gain new ones"--Page xiii

This book provides a complete overview of timeshare development and operation models. The authors take a comprehensive look at the present and future of this growing segment of the hospitality industry, including specialized approaches to marketing, human resources, service quality, finance, legal considerations and professional ethics. Timeshare, or vacation ownership, is a relatively recent leisure phenomenon. It emerged in the late 1950s as a way to secure extra capital resources to fund property expansion. Shareholders had the right to use these properties on a regular basis. Although arrangements have grown in complexity and variation, the model allows for customers to buy rights to use a property for a fixed time period each year. Timeshare arrangements have experienced rapid international growth particularly in the last fifteen to twenty years and are now an important vacation arrangement. Most of the world's major hotel and resort developers now operate timeshare properties. Firms like Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Disney and Ramada have brought a new formality and legitimacy to timeshare development and operation.

Hotel and resort development. It's one of the hottest, fastest-growing areas in the construction industry today, as well as one of the most creative and rewarding. But managing these unusually complex projects can pose plenty of potential headaches for the uninitiated. With the many clients on such projects who must be satisfied, the various contractors who must be dealt with, and all the different technologies that must be successfully implemented and coordinated, you need an exceptionally sophisticated and workable system of project management to pull it all together - smoothly, on time, and within budget. This book provides you with precisely that system! Drawing on the newest and most effective techniques of project management yet developed-techniques that are especially well-suited to the unique problems posed by hotel and resort development and other large commercial projects - this detailed, step-by-step guide takes you through every stage of the process. Among the many things you'll learn: how to establish market feasibility and minimize risk; how to ascertain the special functional needs of a particular hotel or resort complex and come up with an aesthetically pleasing, but cost-effective, plan to meet those needs; how to assemble a talented and smoothly functioning team, with tips on setting up clear lines of communication; how to balance the sometimes conflicting requirements of all the various clients involved - including owners, government authorities, hotel managers, and hotel users; how to conform to the constraints presented by budgetary and environmental concerns and still come up with a plan you'll be proud to put your name on; how to assure cost and quality control through every stage of the project; and how to achieve "hands-on" management of everything from the bidding process ... to procurements ... to planning and scheduling ... to liaisons with clients ... to each stage of construction ... to phase-out and completion of the project. Filled with fascinating case studies of ambitious hotel and resort projects that have been successfully and imaginatively carried out in recent years, this book is unequalled in providing expert advice on handling the complex issues you'll need to master a challenging and truly rewarding undertaking.

The resort industry is booming, increasing the demand for energetic management personnel well-versed in the unique issues and problems of resort management and operations. From activity programming, guest safety, and security to corporate and meeting planning, the management of seasonal employees, and more. Resort is self-contained commercial establishment which attempts to provide for most of a vacationer's wants while remaining on the premises, such as food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping. A resort is a place used for relaxation, vacation or as a daytime getaway. While this can be a single building such as a hotel, it also can be an entire island or a ship at sea. A resort is not always a commercial establishment operated by a single company, although in the late twentieth century this sort of facility became more common. Resort management is part of the hospitality and lodging industry. There are often different types of managers within a hotel or resort, including those who oversee food and beverage, maintenance and activities departments. Resorts: Management and Operation focuses on essential elements of the resort industry-recreational facilities, lodging/food and beverage, and guest activities. It explains the relationship between the natural resource base and the development of recreational facilities; discusses the operational and logistical challenges that resort managers face; and demonstrates the development of revenueproducing, guest-satisfying activities based on demographic and psychographic factors as well as the physical ability of the guest. The book provides professionals and students with need-to-know information on a host of resort-specific issues.
