Travel Industry at
Remote Sites Part I
General
So that you can enjoy Nature at Remote
Places ....We provide the comfort .
 Tourism Now for You- Unlimited
Destinations, Unlimited Options for Fun,
Relaxation and More.
 We were
appro
ached by the ⊙High Land Costs and Higher Per Room Construction
Travel Costs
Segment ⊙Break Even on Budget Hotels more than 10 years
⊙Pressures put in by well read Travellers to bring in
who were Efficiency and Green Building Standards as a pre-
facing requisite
multiple ⊙Internet Connectivity and spread of Smart Phones
has made each User a traveler himself who will visit
problems New Sites and share data with other users. This will
create demand on Travel Operators to consider this
Data and start business in New Sites.
⊙New Sites need Hotels in different format s totally
different from existing Hotels
 Two ⊙If Cost Reduction and
opposing Standardization is one trend
Trends witnessed by Hotel Chains the
other is Glamping or Glamarous
Camping . Campers used to living
Plastic Tents and Bags now
prefer the same style, luxury
served to them at Remote sites.
Low Cost ⊙Background in Green and Mass
and Low Income Affordable Green
Glamping Homes gives us the ability to
serve the Travel Market in both
the Lower End abd upper end

Hotel Rooms
Cross Check
land price can be Rs 15-16 lakh a
for Selling room, The cost of development
Prices for for a branded mid-market hotel
Remote Prics works out to Rs 30 lakh to Rs 35
lakh per key, excluding land cost .
At 60% Room Occupancy the
Budget Hotels break even in 5-7
years in the Budget Category.
 Actual Reported Figures Formule 1
Budget Hotels like Formule 1 have rooms of 140 sq ft
size only. We will take Rs 15-20 Lacs as cost of
Constructing a Budget Hotel Room without land would
work out to Rs 11,000/sq ft.
Cost of
Constructing G

Hotel Rooms

Low Budget Rooms like Ginger Hotels were initially built at Rs 5-10 Lacs but now they are being built
at same range of Rs 10-15 Lacs.
⊙The current ARR per Hotel in India is about Rs 5000. With a 65% occupancy rate the Rev ARR
works out to Rs 3750 per night. For a Budget Hotel like Ginger Rates are between Rs 1800-2000. In
the Mid Market with limited Dining Restaurant the ARR would be between Rs 2000-4000.

 Energy Efficiency and the Great Big SIP Revolution
Cost of The Energy Efficiency and the drive towards improving Home Energy Efficiencies
were in 3 Directions:
Construction ⊙Main Energy waste was traced to bad Insulation since Bricks and Concrete have
no Insulation. Improving Building insulation is now a subject of 24/7 Research
and Energy ⊙Second culprit was found to be Energy guzzling Appliances like Air-Conditioning ,
Heating, Washer Dryer and Refrigerators. We now have compulsory Ratings for
Star these Appliances and Minimum Ratings which will be accepted.
⊙Third Culprit was Leakages in Building structures and lastly Light Consumption
⊙The Energy Star Authorities jumped in and issued what would be the Insulation
required for providing Comfort levels inside to Consumers in their Homes
⊙Energy Star has made Appliances report Energy Usage. Now 5 Star Appliances
cost 20-30% more to meeet Energy Efficiency Standards.
Energy Standards(Insulation) Forced Change in
Wall Designs. Requirement for Air Tightness
increased Precision required and Sealing. With
newer Products came Technology for making the
Construction Process Less Site Intensive.
 Initially only Families traveled
together. Now we see all
Vision for members in different groups
the Future specially friends. So we have
groups of Youngsters and
Retirees Club moving together.
We have to offer something for
the 10-60 Age Limits

 To give best Insulation and R Values (Resistance to Heat and
cold) the product which has beeen developed over the years is
SIP (Structurally Insulated Panels). SIPS have a Insulation Core
SIPS How made of Extended Polystyrene (EPS) or Polyurethane
(PUF)and water proof skins made of Metal , Wood , Fiber
does it affect Cement and MgO. Panels can be load bearing or needing a
R Values Steel framework. We would use Load Bearing Direct Assembly
Design
 We can build with SIPS as Load Bearing and with Metal Fram
support. We would prefer Load Bearing so that site working
erecting the Metal Framework is saved.

remains first choice since it is easy to cut
⊙Using Fiber Cement reduces Wall Cost by 30%
⊙SIPS also reduces Foundation needs so reduces
another 15% savings there also. Labor and Time
savings in using SIPS is also 30%+

⊙For the Glamping or for any Hotel Chain we offer small and large sized Temporary and
Normal Rooms which meet Energy Star Ratings, Water Efficiencies and if required Net Zero
Labels. ….Label Green
⊙We have designed rooms and set a targeted Room Budget of USC$10000 for a
Standalone Fully Furnished SIPS Hotel Room and a US$17-20000 for a Net Zero Hotel
Glamping Room of 400 sq ft.…Lowest Cost/key
⊙We wish to develop the Geodesic Dome and work on Chemicals available to stop Heat
Business Transfers. We feel Geodesics is a good answer to Sensitive Green Zones and with feather
weight structures we will not need Heavy Foundations and Civil Works . Similarly we have
Objectives started design on Bamboo based Rooms for Real Solutions /Green Zones
⊙Travellers need IT and other services of the highest quality wherever they are. So having 24/7
Power, High Speed Wi-Fi with back-ups would be an Important part of Product Offering.
Electronic Entertainment has started to crep I with introduction of Internet TVs and Game
Consoles…..Essentials 24/7
⊙Travellers get fed-up of a single activity. Sites have to be selected where upto 20 activities
are available. Take for example the Pategonian Resorts. Here we have listed over Fifteen
activities possible: Mountain Climbing, Skiiing. River Rafting, Jungle Walk, Bird Sightseeing, .
Residences may have to be spread over large distances and maybe different in
properties…..Multi Activity and Living Experience……The View is just not enough anymore
⊙Travellers look for low cost options but in Glamping they look also for Luxury. Rooms will be
decent sized 400 sq feet minimum . Also some elements of the SPA would move into every
room as we design years ahead…….Minimum Sized Rooms

Here the Panels used were made of
wood on both sides and thinner
insulation .
⊙Promoter Director ran a SIPS
Company so has hands on experience
in making SIPS of all types
 From our Analysis the following Facts emerges:
1. The SIPS is the only Real Option on the Table today
Step 1: for Green Homes. SIPS will also form the Preferred
Geometry for Travel Structures. Tents, Domes,
Prototyping Shacks will form the other structures we could offer
the PoD 2. Skills for SIPS Making and Assembly is available In
Making and House except for SIPS Sectional Cutting Softwares.
Skills for Bamboo Structure Making acquired.
Asssembly 3. The Main Initial Focus will be on setting up a PODS
the Hexagon Factory. Bathrom,Kitchen, Living Room Pods
completely Assembled and Finished will be sent to
the site. The Travel Industry needs for Remote sites
has made this Segment the Most Important
Business Segment.
4. Initially we can start with just Laminated OSB
Sheets with EPS . These could be made In House or
Outsourced
Materials for ⊙Materials for the SIPS Hexagon
We have planned to use the following SIPS in the Prototype:
the SIPS 1. 100 MM Panels PUF Insulation Panel 80 mm Insulation, Fiber
Hexagon Cement / 0.5 mm PPGI Sheets ( Colored Steel Sheets) of 10
mm each available on both sides. Panels of size 4x8 feet. This
is for use in the Walls and 120 mm Foam
2. No Cutting Tools available. But we have identified the -----(List
of Tools) Hand held which we can use in making the first
prototype
3. PUF Panels from 30-50mm thickness available for the Inner
Walls

Other Requirements
For making the Prototype we need some 1000 sq ft of space
and the Hand Tools for Cutting (Chain Saws) and Rendering.
 Our Promoter Architect Mr Mukund drew the CAD
Diagram for the Hexagon as attached .
Steps in the For purposes of Prototyping we shall use local
Prototyping- talent to do the SIPS Sectional Drawings and then
Step1: SIP get the Panels cut to size.
Skin We propose to make a set of 10 Panels of 4x8
