Africa for wild safari and so on.0 BACKGROUND Nepal comprises only 0. as tourism is one of the major sources of foreign exchange earner for the country and accounts for more than 17. Palm Island so that people all around fly there to enjoy the charm of modern architecture. heart seizing scenic beauty. South Africa etc well known for tourism industry whose national economy rely in it. There are two forms of economic growth caused by tourism. it developed as industry and gained its pace to highly advanced state. Chisapani in Kathmandu are blooming due to internal tourism. hence. Countries like Switzerland. The potential Culture and Nature tourism. The current trend of internal tourism is so charming that few places like. diverse culture. we are celebrating tourism year targeting to receive 1 million tourists by the end of 2011. and other is national due to international tourism. tourism has been an essential part of local as well national economy. One can experience scorching heat to freezing cold within 4-5 day trek. There are very less number of resorts as compared to hotels and lodges and so. Now.D (1)to be the time when its all oil resources exhaust. Maldives. it can be understood that to meet this target in 2011 or some years later. climate. Nepal has also huge potential in this sector. Ghale Gaun in Lamjung. Burzal-Arab.

Thailand. tourist goes Switzerland for ski.Thesis Proposal on Designing Recreational Tourist Resort 1.1% of the land area in a global scale but is endowed with disproportionately rich diversity of flora and fauna. and socio-economic pattern is a uniqueness of Nepal. iconic buildings like Burz Dubai. Thus. ethnic etiquettes. Touring is a historic concept but it has not been half a century. it has to be focused on international tourism where people around the world travel miles and spent thousands of dollars to feel the scenic and cultural beauty abroad. Resort can provide versatile functions and amenities and we are not being able to have masterpiece resort to advocate all the demands. Nepal¶s diverse and magnificent environment along with the country¶s hospitable and pleasant people has made her one of the major tourist destinations for world around. where foreigner goes for shopping. Dubai has forecasted 2030 A. and biodiversity with in a short N-S length and variation in culture. at the same time if there is a point to upgrade the national economy. Thailand is well known for mall tourism. which is almost hard to get anywhere in any other part of the world as the climate here varies from Tropical to Arctic. which needs no extra infrastructural investment like in sports tourism and the trend of tourism in Nepal is also what I have mentioned here. The diverse geology. But. Tourism. China. Globalization has narrowed the boundaries between countries and people¶s curiosity is dragging them here and there creating new from of social language. one is local which is due to internal tourism. Planner and economist have realized that economy of Nepal can be flourished through tourism and with this fact. 4 . it is very necessary to create sufficient space with proper facilities. if we stare on present trend. Resort can be classified into several categories and have guidelines to rate them. bars. where it is possible to have as much facilities as a dweller needs. . as a health club and various other functions. Namche in Solukhumbu or may be planned which is not found in Nepal. that they all serve people and among them majority is foreign tourist.0 INTRODUCTION 2. as a meeting centre.Adventure Resort . Ghale Gaun. For example. But. this project will focus on designing full self-contained resort. if we go through the structural formation of resort then there are two types of resort.Resort . sports. A resort can function as a conference centre. Resorts serve as the primary provider of the guests¶ experience. and another form of resort could be resort town where facilities are dispersed with in a small town or area.Eco Resort . Self contained of integrated resort A modern form of resort where one can have all the resort facilities within a boundary. it is true that resort is self contained units. All the functions are incorporated but the scope of resort may vary as we have discussed above. novelist can finish novel. 1.Sports Resort . can have lunch. which focuses on tourism as its primary occupation. like wise wildlife safari resort may not pays attention to mountaineering. Oxford¶s dictionary defines resort as place that is frequented for holidays or recreation or for a particular purpose. and it provides the cuisine service. health and cuisine facilities with several restaurant. A resort town may be self developed like Helambu in Sindhupalchowk. plan an overnight stay and lit campfire. one can give dynamism to their leisure time. as a banquette. 5 . Resort being discussed here is self-contained one.Nature Resort .Agro.1 WHAT IS RESORT Resort is a place to spent holiday for relaxation and recreation so that. spa. it dates back to Roman era where Therme serves multifunctional recreation activity and most popular among this is Baiae(4). So. a poet can create his poem and tourist can have charming stay there. According to the new definition. µA resort is a full-service lodging facility that provides access to or offers a range of amenities and recreation facilities to emphasize a leisure experience. There may be numerous form of resort like. as a restaurant. thus. If we go through the history of resort. One can go and swim in resort. There are very few amount of self-contained resort in Nepal. 2. it could be day resort with recreational facilities like. Resort town: It is often understood as a traditional form of resort but this type carries essence of resort where functions and facilities are scattered in a small town. but according to service provided by them. A resort could be day serving and night serving. like a resort focusing on sports may not concern in health facilities. sauna.Thesis Proposal on Designing Recreational Tourist Resort 2. can go just to pass time. and are characteristically located in vacation-oriented settings¶ (3). often provide services for business and meetings. artist can complete their portrait.

INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT This is a thesis proposal on designing the Recreational Tourist Resort. the meaning of resort has changed and now it has been a commercial form of making money. Tourist Information Centre. and surrounding to fit it in context. This resort will perform multifunction. gives feelings of intimacy. literature reviews. Plazas. Individual Cottages. it is important to know the management of all these activities and also we cannot take this sort of resort more far form urban fringe as target group is urban dwellers too. not very far from the core city so as it could serve urban people well and be their holiday destination.Thesis Proposal on Designing Recreational Tourist Resort 3. Curio Shop. Thus. The tremendous rise of energy demand has created uncertain future seeking a new form of design concept based on passive solar technologies and sustainability in built form. The project will try to incorporate all the necessary facilities and amenities and will be the largest resort in the country. together harmonizing it with site. Resort. If we see the present scenario. thus. Thus. performance space etc. Heath Club. The resort will attempt to integrate the socio-cultural aspect of Nepalese society with contemporary spatial demand of resort and create harmony between them. proposed here. site selection. Receptions. Natural as well as artificial landscapes and Space for Artists. Writers etc. it will have services like Parking. Mini Golf Course. The resort will be located in urban fringe. The good resort is that which plunge people. Ethnographic Museum. and recreational spaces like Swimming Pool. of total global energy consumption. spaces has to be planned so that it comply with the demand of both national and international visitors and standards to meet their demands. Building sector contributes 30%-40% (7). which is increasing in rapid pace which need to be reduced and it is our duty to create efficient design. case studies. It is hard task to incorporate both forms in a same resort as there is disambiguation in social and economic pattern but that can be solved by classifying the group of users. which are research on related topics. research. it will be concerning on the sustainability in architecture. This covers design problems related to resort and tourist space. Viewing the present scenario of the world. The society has changed a lot from traditional to modern and still in the stage of metamorphosis. Thus. which caters the modern amenities as per the requirement of the visitors. The creation of unique resort in a built form will be the landmark of valley and even of Nepal so that. 9 . this proposed resort will be leisure resort with recreational activities. the present number of hotel can only hold up to half a million visitors in a year. which can bring about immediate socio-economic benefit from small investments. The tourist estimated to visit in tourism year 2011 is far more that the holding capacity of available accommodation. The economic influence of tourism in Nepal is noteworthy as is has established itself as a prominent foreign exchange earner. is a present need. it is said that. and people go there just dwell around the resort area. think locally. resorts. The fact that. we may receive more than 1 million visitors a year. A well-synchronized and planned resort. if we are really upon the promotion of tourism. tourism in Nepal holds a great potential to establish itself as a significant means of economy.. tourism plays an important to upgrade local as well as national economy so resort proposed is commercially acceptable. but it will certainly create an example and impact locally as there is saying. home stays etc. Thus. if not this year then probably the next. In addition. it becomes place to visit. JUSTIFICATION In present context. The multifunctional resorts are still absent in Nepal and this proposed resort will be one of the iconic resort with all resort facilities which will ultimately promote resort tourism. most of the resorts are oriented to limited service focusing only foreigners and paying very little attention to urban haves. lodges. the issue of eco-sensitive and sustainable architecture must be raised by the architects and we as a architect can alter the landscape and built form for which we need to understand and be responsible for its far-reaching consequences. The future is hard to predict but some things are certain. This proposed resort could be the masterpiece of all resort that are functioning today and will approach to give it global identification. This sector has a great potentiality to generate foreign revenue. but now the economy has boosted and people around the country are being pulled there(8). so there is still need of huge numbers of hotels. impact globally. The most important part is socio-economic impact. Resort tourism is well flourished in Maldives. Likewise. Before 1960¶s Pokhara was accessible only by foot. which could provide space for both internal and external tourist. We can find many resorts here and only few of which are fulfilling these needs. from modern to post modern and Sanskritization through global interchange has not kept Nepalese society untouched.Thesis Proposal on Designing Recreational Tourist Resort 4. Nepal is still deficient of required hotel rooms comparing to tourists inflow. There will be rise in urban population in developing economies and an increase in levels of income. This project will pay its attention towards the global energy crisis and climate change though it is a worthless effort to give impact in global scale. They intend to go some distance far from city so that they can enjoy the environment and freshness there. OBJECTIVES The main objective of this proposal is to design Re-creative Tourist Resort for the partial fulfillment of Bachelor Degree of Architecture. then it is acceptable to have multifunctional resort. resort tourism can provide best solution to internal tourism. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS: The scopes of the projects are. 10 . Make analytical study of the functional requirements of resort and implement efficient design to carry out the functions smoothly. Thus. the objectives are to. Provide a recreational environment for the resort through varieties of facilities and functions.Study about spatial organization and areal need of resort programs The ultimate objective is to attain unique resort design with all the knowledge and skills that is learned throughout four years of learning. Provide a space for official meetings and seminars in natural surroundings.Study about low cost sustainable building materials . For internal visitors. . If we analyze the present trend of internal resort tourism and need of leisure place. - - In addition.Study about passive solar architecture . there is no trend of going hotels in weekend. The final design should be free from all the design problems and should be outstanding from all the prevalent resort in Nepal. The resort with recreational facilities posses¶ wide range of scope. there are various objective related to achieving proper functioning built forms. which not only focus on overnight stay but also concern in day services too.Study about energy efficient design . due to their location on core urban area. Respond to climatic and energy consumption issues raised by present day architecture through eco-sensitive design. that can be achieved through literature reviews and research. Provide hospitality for both domestic and foreigner tourists and promote tourism ultimately Promote local as well as national economy through the promotion of both internal and external tourism. Specifically the objectives are to. Create an interactive ground for locals and visitors so that there may be interchange of ideas and cultural demonstration. The establishment of tourist resort will create the economic opportunities to site neighborhood.Study about the materials and technology regarding the sustainability in design . 6. Also the local and national economy will boost due to establishment of multifunctional recreational tourist resort.Thesis Proposal on Designing Recreational Tourist Resort 5. Hence. Site selection and analysis . The project will not focus on structural analysis of built structures of resorts. All the findings gathered in this phase will be applied in our design phase.Program formulation and zoning . The resort will be a place to gain knowledge regarding the green design. it will function as a luxurious resort which provides all the facilities within its boundary so as to make their stay pleasing and exotic. though research will be made and required level of detailing will be done to meet the architectural requirement.Design development 11 . The proposed resort will attempt to provide seminar space to meet international standard.Case study This is preparatory phase for thesis project in which data. We will study the present functioning and organization of spaces through case studies. it will enhance tourism sector of country. Design phase . facts.Conceptual design . It will not focus more on social survey. Research phase . Detailed environment assessment will nit be done due to limitation of knowledge in this field and it is not our primary focus.Thesis Proposal on Designing Recreational Tourist Resort For external tourism. as it will apply integrated energy system. METHODOLOGY The project will be oriented to meet the requirements for the completion of Bachelors Degree in Architecture. it will be based on ground reality. The project is concerned in built form so. some impact will be analyzed. Though it is an academic requirement. The following methodologies will be adopted in two phases to come up with the final design. 7. conference or seminar becomes more interesting and fascinating.Literature Review . Resort can also be a place for convection and conference. research as this is an academic project. spatial needs and requirements are studied focusing on the approved topic. The project will not covers all the details related to green design incorporated. and this does not fall under the primary constraint. However. Ultimately. although structural consultation will be made and it will not be sufficient. and that depends on the quality of space they provide so that the convection. It will help to promote resort tourism in Nepal and encourage foreigner to come here once just to stay in this very resort. as the project is virtual. there will be limited research and study on feasibility of project and detailed site suitability will not be analyzed. The limitations of the projects are. model.Thesis Proposal on Designing Recreational Tourist Resort - Analysis and evaluation of output design Preparation of architectural drawings. report for final presentation This phase will orient itself on creating proper design of thesis topic selected where the combination of all knowledge gathered form research phase would be applied. 3D views.
