The Hotel on the Roof of the World
''The Hotel on the Roof of the World'' is a humorous account by Alec Le Sueur of the attempt to manage the Holiday Inn Lhasa in Tibet in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The book was published in the UK in 1998 by Summersdale and has remained in print since then.
== Background ==
The economic reform brought to China by Deng Xiaoping in 1978, known as Deng's 'open door policy' allowed tourism to develop in the People's Republic of China.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An Analysis of tourism policy development in modern China )〕 Holiday Inn opened the Holiday Inn Lido Beijing, the first international hotel in China in 1984,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holiday Inn - Half Year Results : 1 January to 30 June 2013 )〕 followed by the Holiday Inn Lhasa in Tibet in 1986. The latter opened in 1985 under local management as the newly built 'Lhasa Hotel'; when the management contract with Holiday Inn expired in 1997, the hotel returned to local management. It had been an ambitious project for Holiday Inn and the book details the difficulties of managing the hotel and the tentative opening of Tibet to the outside world in the 1980s. The book gives no detail on the political situation, but describes life for an expatriate in Lhasa and the humorous consequences of attempting to provide a Holiday Inn service in those circumstances. Reviews compared the situation to a real life Fawlty Towers.
