The main goal of the Vanuatu Tourism Zone Foldable Modular Hotel Project is to build places for people to stay at local tourist resorts.
I. Overview of the Prefab Expandable Hotel Project
Project Title: Modular Hotel with Expandable Buildings
Construction party: The Foshan Foreign Affairs Bureau is in charge of the project, and GS Housing, a Chinese modular building construction company, is in charge of making and shipping the buildings.
Location: Vanuatu Tourism Resort
Type of the project: building modular tourist accommodations.
QTY: There are 10 units of 30-foot expandable container houses and 15 units of 20-foot expandable prefab houses in this project.
II. Technical Parameters of Modular Hotel
The Expandable Container House is a modular structural unit adapted from standard ISO prefabricated containers. It can be folded during transportation and unfolded upon arrival to create a spacious space.

III. Purpose and Layout of the Modular Hotel
Purpose: To address the shortage of hotel rooms and limited construction conditions in Vanuatu’s tourist areas.
Applications: Island resort hotels, eco-resorts, tourist reception areas, and staff dormitories.
Construction Duration: The entire prefab hotel complex takes approximately 30 days from order to commissioning.
IV. Advantages of Portable Hotel
Quick Deployment: Can be quickly deployed and used without the need for large machinery.
Energy-Friendly and Energy-Saving: The movable prefab hotel building is recyclable and non-polluting during construction.
Strong Wind and Earthquake Resistance: Adapts to the island’s climate and geological conditions.
High Aesthetics: The exterior and interior can be customized to create a resort-style or modern minimalist aesthetic.
Convenient Export and Transportation: The folded container’s shipping volume is approximately one-third of its unfolded size, saving on shipping costs.
This hotel demonstrates China’s prefab building export capabilities and the practical application of Belt and Road tourism cooperation projects. It not only enhances local tourism reception but also showcases China’s technological output in sustainable prefabricated construction.
