IP-Integrated Project, Hospitality Facilities Management

Assignment Overview:
Your group will act as a hospitality management consultancy firm advising the owners of an outdated four
star hotel based in the USA (the exact location will be randomly assigned for your team).
The objective is to upgrade a hotel to a five star status.
The existing hotel must have between 100-250 rooms and 1-3 F&B outlets.
Your group must create a report providing documentation to the owners related to specific tasks assigned
by each of your five instructors.
Overall aim:
This project will allow students to demonstrate their understanding of different operational
and managerial subjects and provide them with an opportunity to demonstrate their ability
to coordinate and integrate operational changes which once combined will lead to achieving
the most optimal result and greater level of profitability for the hotel.
General
What can Greta Thunberg teach us all about sustainability?
“Everyone keeps saying climate change is an existential threat and most important issue of all, and
yetthey just carry on like before. I don’t understand that, because if the emissions have to stop, then we
muststop emissions. To me, that is black or white. There are no grey areas when it comes to survival.” –
Greta Thunberg, 2020
“We can’t save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed.
Everything needs to change, and it has to start today.” – Greta Thunberg, 2020
