INTRODUCTION

A hotel is an establishment that provide paid lodging on a short-term basis.

It Facilities provided may range from a modest-quality mattress in a small room to large suites with
bigger, higher-quality beds, a dresser, a fridge and other kitchen facilities, upholstered chairs, a flat
screen television and spacious bathrooms. Small, lower-priced hotels may offer only the most basic
guest services and facilities. Larger, higher-priced hotels may provide additional guest facilities such
as a swimming pool, business center (with computers, printers and other office equipment),
childcare, conference and event facilities, tennis or basketball courts, gymnasium, restaurants, day
spa and social function services.
The Indian tourism and hospitality industry is one of the major factor responsible for growth
among the services sectors in India. It contributes to 6.23 percent to the National GDP and 8.78
percent of the total employment in the country.
Eco hotels is above normal hotels because the Eco hotels contribute less amount of
greenhouse gases to Atmosphere when compared to normal hotels.
The Ecotel has better features like Solar Panels to generate electricity, Rainwater Harvesting
system to supply water for toilet or plant trees, Roof Garden rick in shrubbery to provide extra
insulation, Wind power to generate electricity for hotel, use of Recycled materials etc.

PROBLEM

1. Navi-Mumbai only has three 5star hotel & all of them are not sustainable.
2. All 5star hotel are very far from proposed Airport (lack of proper accessibility).
3. Navi-Mumbai & Its surrounding has many tourist spots but lack of many luxury hotels may ruin
tourism & its loss of Indian tourism.
4. All the normal 5star hotel generate huge quantities of waste and there is need to come up
with sustainable hotel practice (Ecotel) and the green concept of hotel should increase in
coming future.
5. Mumbai among worlds top trending tourist spots for 2017 (www.indianexpress.com &
Maharashtra Tourism Survey report), So in the coming future Navi-Mumbai will also be the
contribution for same.
PROBLEM STATEMENT

There is a need of 5 STAR ECOTEL near upcoming Navi Mumbai Airport which will overcome the lack of
5 Star hotel facility & it can enhance tourism.

HYPOTHESIS

Navi-Mumbai only has three 5-star hotel i.e. in Vashi, CBD Belapur, Kharghar. So, there is need of a 5
star hotel near upcoming Airport and its also proposed by CIDCO (City & Industrial Development
Corporation).

1. Many developments are taking place in Navi Mumbai and Raigad area for Tourism purpose
but lack of 5star hotel may be a problem for international travelers ( Eg- Navi Mumbai
Marina).
2. None of the 5 star hotel is in Panvel which is very close to upcoming airport so its proposed by
CIDCO itself.
3. When compared to the City like Mumbai there are around fourteen 5-Star hotel in radius of
3KM from Airport & many more 3 stars too. So the Navi-Mumbai should also have luxury
hotels in its surrounding which is easily accessible to it.

Airport with sustainable practice.
