24.3 Master Planned Beach Resort Destination Checklist – Part 3 – Access / Proximity

This subject check list covers the second of the 5 main subjects from the Master Check List - Components of the Ideal Master Planned Beach Resort Destination.   These subject check lists are by no means comprehensive, but more like a shopping list with brief explanations as reminders.  This check list series actually goes hand in hand with an earlier series I posted on Integrated Master Planning for Destination Development.  This check list would actually be similar to some of the outlines for the phases of Environmental / Site Analysis  and Market Analysis   in the Integrated Master Planning methodology.

24.1 Master Planned Beach Resort Destination Checklist – Part 1 – Overview

I have spent much of my life enjoying some of the most beautiful and popular Beach Resort Destinations around the world, in Southern California, Hawaii, Bali, Phuket, Koh Samui, Lombok, Nice, Greece, Bintan, Hainan, etc.  In addition for the last almost 30 years I have been working on the design and master planning of individual buildings and large land areas associated with Beach Resort Destinations.  Having looked at it from the perspective of a designer, a consultant and an investor, I decided it was time to compile my shopping list of the components to make the Ideal Master Planned Beach Resort Destination.

This list started off as a master list then became more detailed in the 5 main subjects, Natural Environment, Access/Proximity, Development Products, Supporting Infrastructure and Services and Destination Management as shown in the table below.  This master list and subsequent subject lists are by no means detailed, but more like a shopping list with brief explanations as reminders.  I am sure somewhere on the net there is probably a similar exercise done by someone else but perhaps done in a different order?
