Description

This research examines how any component of technology used in the hotel and tourism sector can be systematically planned and delivered. The case study chosen is smart hotels for the survey; a modern solution that saves time and effort, enhances on-site tourism, promotes investment, and improves customer satisfaction. The goal is to design a schedule division structure to support the implementation of smart hotels. This research employs a work-breakdown/schedule-division analysis to decompose the smart-hotel project into 14 hierarchical levels, mapping its activities, responsibilities, and sequence. Level 1 is defined by seven macro-stages: licensing, general preparation, concrete structure construction, installation of smart devices and protection systems, system testing, operation and maintenance planning, and acceptance/finishing. The licensing and design approvals at Level 2 (including approvals from the Ministries of Defense, Interior, Antiquities, etc.) encompass preparation and approval of engineering drawings and hotel designs. Preliminary site-related preparation includes establishing temporary offices for engineers, technicians, and workers, as well as providing electricity, water, and internet/communication services. Level 4 organizes supplier/provider lists, clarifies authorities and responsibilities, and distributes tasks to project engineers. The novelty of the work is a practical, finely grained scheduling design for smart hotels that can be adopted as a planning template to reduce implementation uncertainty and strengthen project control.
