'Developing Hospitality Facilities' sets out some of the key issues in developing hospitality properties and has a user-friendly approach suitable for students, hospitality practitioners and those in related industries.
The book acts as a 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.
With contributions from both academics and practitioners, it looks at design, building issues, operational relationships, providing the hospitality manager with an insight into how these areas work and what they need to know in order to get the best out of them.
The thematic structure takes the student and manager through the whole process of developing a property from concept to conclusion.

"I commend this book to you as a really good read"
David M C Michels, Chief Executive, Hilton International
"This book.. will add significantly to the body of knowledge available to students and practitioners alike"
David Wood, Chief Executive, Hotel and Catering International Management Association (HCIMA)
This is a text book which covers a long neglected sector of the hospitality curriculum. It is particularly opposite for practitioners involved in the development process or for students who, in their management careers, will be dealing with refurbishment and redevelopment on a regular basis. The aim of the book is to act as a guide for students and professionals on how to manage hospitality facilities to their best effect. This structure works well as it ensures a well planned and coherent approach to the subject which is easy to follow. This is a useful text which has been needed for a long time..... In the introdution, it details a set of four objectives to fulfil by the end of the book. It has successfully achieved these objectives.
Vicky Harris, Leeds Metropolitan University (forthcoming review in the International Journal of Hospitality Management)
