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.
