User blog comment:John Alfred Hammond, CEO/Why was Hammond building a Hotel in Trespasser?/@comment-1791057-20130303232558

1. The novels aren't canon with the films or the comics or games. Michael Crichton hated canon crossing even more than he did writing sequels. Therefore, the malicious corporation that Michael Crichton set up InGen as in the novels doesn't exist outside of the novels.

2. Because Trespasser Sorna, being in it's own canon, was supposed to be more of a showy effects kind of place. In the Films, Sorna would never really be brought up. The film-canon relatinonship between Nublar and Sorna would have been like going to a zoo: you know the animals had to have gotten there somehow, but you don't really care enough to ask. The Isla Sorna that Trespasser set up would have been more like a secondary headquarters from their facility in Palto Alto. It had comfort facilities for characters like Nedry, Wu, Muldoon, etc. Then, there would have been the high-tech monorail system that would wizz investors from facility to facility that allowed them to witness the grand scheme behind the scenes.
