Abstract

ABSTRACT The hospitality and tourism industry is growing worldwide with more new hotel buildings and extension projects. The process of developing a new hotel seems to be rarely considered in most hospitality and tourism curricula. Moreover, hospitality management students are rarely exposed to the important and well-defined discipline of project management, but clearly, developing a new hotel is a reasonably large and complex project. This case study explains why modular construction was the best way to build the extension to the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore, instead of more traditional in-situ construction methods. Additionally, the case study introduces key principles and practices within the discipline of project management, especially as they relate to developing new hotels and/or extending existing hotels. This case study has been prepared after reviewing published materials about the project and extensively interviewing four senior members of the project team.

樟宜机场皇冠假日酒店扩建:模块化酒店建设案例研究
随着越来越多的新酒店建筑和扩建项目,酒店和旅游业在全球范围内不断发展。在大多数酒店和旅游课程中,开发新酒店的过程似乎很少被考虑。此外,酒店管理专业的学生很少接触到项目管理这一重要而明确的学科,但很明显,开发一家新酒店是一个相当大而复杂的项目。这个案例研究解释了为什么模块化建筑是新加坡樟宜机场皇冠假日酒店扩建部分的最佳方式,而不是更传统的原位施工方法。此外,案例研究还介绍了项目管理学科中的关键原则和实践,特别是与开发新酒店和/或扩展现有酒店相关的原则和实践。本案例研究是在审查了有关该项目的出版材料并广泛采访了项目团队的四位高级成员后编写的。
