From Vision to Reality
Project Objective
Accelerate and realize Andre’s vision
Dear Andre,
Since my first visit to Belitung in 2019, I have felt very strongly about its undiscovered, raw, and barefoot beauty. I see how its natural and indigenous qualities can put Belitung on the regional tourism map. I know this is also your purpose and mission, and I believe only a small number of people truly understand this vision. I am one of them.
You asked me to help you get this project accepted as a Design Hotels™ member. Design Hotels look for a strong concept, real and detailed plans, and a hotel that is being seriously prepared for construction and opening.
Right now, your project has reached an important moment. You selected the location, made some drawings, and many ideas in your head. But they are not yet organized into one clear plan that can be executed. To turn your vision into a real, world-class resort — and to make Design Hotels membership realistic — we now need a clear concept, a brand and strong project management.
In this proposal, I lay out a simple breakdown of the full scope-of-work: planning, design support, marketing strategy, and operator selection.
Scope-of-work
This scope-of-work (the Services) is for Phase 1 (an 18-month plan) from initial project schedule development to basic and detailed design development and operator (or membership) selection. This does not include resort construction and pre-opening, which is Phase 2.

Operating model decision

- Conduct hotel operator (or membership) meetings and begin LOU negotiations
- Complete LOU signing
Detailed Design, Interior Design, Engineering
