Asset Management in a Tourism Unit

Implementation Plan of Asset Management in a Tourism Unit:

1. Goals and Strategy:

  • Optimize the management of assets (buildings, equipment, facilities).
  • Increase energy efficiency and sustainability.
  • Reduce operating costs through preventive maintenance.
  • Ensure the quality of services provided.

2. Asset Recording and Valuation:

Based on the recording, a preventive maintenance plan is created:

  • Regular inspections of critical infrastructure (e.g. elevators, HVAC).
  • Scheduled replacement of worn parts.
  • Utilizing IoT for real-time monitoring of air conditioning and energy systems.

This reduces emergency costs, increases safety and ensures uninterrupted operation.

4. Energy Management and Sustainability:

Energy optimization is achieved through:

  • Replacing traditional equipment with energy-efficient systems (LED lighting, solar water heaters).
  • Real-time energy consumption monitoring.
  • Implementing smart systems for heating and cooling adjustment based on hotel occupancy.

The above enhances environmental responsibility and reduces operating costs.

5. Digital Tools and Monitoring Technologies:

  • PMS (Property Management System): Reservation and resource management.
  • BMS (Building Management System): Energy monitoring.
  • CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System): Maintenance management.

6. Implementation and Monitoring Plan:

The implementation plan includes:

1. Phase 1 – Analysis and Planning:

  • Recording assets and creating a preventive maintenance plan.
  • Creating a preventive maintenance plan.
  • Choosing digital management tools.

Phase 2 – Implementation and Optimization:

  • Implementing energy improvements.
  • Installing automated monitoring systems.
  • Staff training on new technologies.

7. Implementation and Monitoring

  • Defining roles and responsibilities per project.
  • Pilot application in a section of the hotel for evaluation.
  • Continuous performance monitoring and optimization based on results.

8. Evaluation and Review

  • Collect data from the initial application and compare it with the goals.
  • Adapt strategies to optimize performance.
  • Continuous training and awareness of staff on the importance of proper management.

9. Conclusions

The implementation of Asset Management can significantly reduce operating costs, improve service quality, and enhance the sustainability of a tourism facility. Additionally, it provides essential knowledge of the actual property of a company, useful for future investment planning. Also important is knowledge of the real assets of a company, so that this can be used in subsequent investment plans.

For the implementation of Asset Management by our company, a team of professionals from various specialties (Business development, environmental impact assessments, financial studies, etc.) ensures accurate mapping and study, as well as the development of results for our partner companies.
