PART 2- Module 1 – ASSIGNMENT 1

Resort Development Plan Phase 1: Front Cover & Proposal

Overview:

Picture this…you are an innovative entrepreneur looking to build a unique resort that will cater to a specific target market. You have an unlimited budget…the focus here is on creativity. Your mission is to develop a comprehensive resort development plan that outlines major resort design decisions, including site drawings/floor plans and other supporting visuals. During the process of creating your plan, you will make a series of decisions based on the standard criteria for classifying hotels and resorts—size, location, levels of service, target markets and ownership/affiliation. For instance, in terms of size, will your resort be high-rise, garden-type, sprawling ranch or timeshare? Where will your resort be located—in the mountains, on an exotic beach or maybe a peaceful lakeside retreat? As far as service, will your resort offer world-class amenities, headliner entertainment, celebrity chefs, or versatile recreation options? These are just some of the aspects you will consider as you visualize your resort concept and layout. The key is to apply the principles learned through your textbook readings and classroom discussions to develop a viable resort development plan.
