Adopt an ecosystem based approach in tourism development planning

Tourism planning adopts ecosystem-based approaches in order to maintain the integrity and essential
values and services of ecosystems. An ecosystem-based approach helps identify and address cumulative
and multi-source impacts of hotels and resorts.

MANAGE IMPACTS ON BIODIVERSITY FROM HOTEL DEVELOPMENT AND ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE AN

OVERALL POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION

Consideration of suitable mitigation measures is given the utmost attention by developers, under the
supervision of appropriate governmental agencies, and with support from scientists and other experts.
Where development is permitted in sensitive areas, strict rules and guidelines are applied and enforced
to minimise negative impacts.

DESIGN WITH NATURE AND ADOPT NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS

Hotel and resort developments aim to blend into the landscape and become integrated into the
ecosystem. Building design, height, orientation and density is guided by the natural setting and local
architectural style, in order to reduce visual impact and intrusion while maximizing natural solutions and
optimizing cultural integration and identity, especially at more sensitive sites.

RESPECT, INVOLVE AND SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Hotel and resort developments aim to blend into the landscape and become integrated into the
ecosystem. Building design, height, orientation and density is guided by the natural setting and local
architectural style, in order to reduce visual impact and intrusion while maximizing natural solutions and
optimizing cultural integration and identity, especially at more sensitive sites.

BUILD COLLABORATION AMONG SKATEHOLDERS

Collaborative approaches are encouraged and facilitated at all levels. Governments, private developers,
investors and contractors, financial institutions, tourism and hotel associations, architect associations,
civil society organizations, communities and academic institutions all have a role to play in the search for
forms of hotel and resort development that do not threaten, but instead enhance, biodiversity.

BE UNIQUE

This is a fantastic time for boutique hotels to embrace their character, quirks and eccentricities!
Travelers aren’t looking for more of the same, they want adventure, newness and uniqueness – they
want something to really write home about. They want their vacation to be different to everyone else’s,
and that means creating something really unique and compelling in your luxury hotel.

INSTAGRAM SPACES

Instagram is an incredibly effective tool for building awareness of your hotel’s design elements, not only
because its visual aspects suit the industry so well, but because people love using it to showcase their
adventures. Actively creating areas within your hotel that suit Instagram culture will increase guest
engagement and lead to increased promotion of your hotel - for free.
Natural Ventilation

Cutting down your reliance on active heating and cooling systems are a great way to reduce your impact
on energy consumptions a comfortable browsing experience without the use of massive, power-sucking
air handlers. It’s the perfect touch for a HOTEL that embodies the open-air feel of an actual walk on the
beach.

Community Outdoor Space

Sometimes sustainability is more than just efficient water heaters and low-impact specifications.
Sometimes it’s about creating awareness for the natural beauty of our surroundings and reminding
people of the communities that coexist with the natural world. THIS PROJECT PROVIDES RESIDENTS AND
TOURIST WITH AN ECO-FRIENDLY PLACE TO GATHER AND OBSERVE MOTHER NATURE IN ALL HER
ABUNDANCE In order to reinforce this connection.

Low-Maintenance Exterior Siding

SUstainability means durability. The most eco-friendly thing you can do when designing a building is
making sure it stands up for the next 100 years. This reduces waste and energy costs over the course of
a few decades and has the potential to make a huge long-term impact on global ecology. Using low-
maintenance, long-lasting siding products, TO helps ensure a long life for the structure.

Use Eco-Friendly Design to Inspire

The best way to spread the eco-friendly love is to make it approachable. Sometimes taking these things
too seriously has a way of turning people away who aren’t looking to face some of the hard truths about
the health of our planet. . Healthy living translates to a healthy planet by being aware of the
environments we inhabit.

Efficient, LED Lighting

Keeping your interiors bright and functional is important for any piece of architecture. However, all that
artificial light can quickly run up your electricity bill – not to mention negatively impact the
environment.The structure has a distinctly modern design that promotes indoor air and light quality.
When the large, strategically placed windows are flooding the interior with natural light, a unique
selection of hanging LED bulbs does the trick.

Natural Light

The best way to lower your artificial light usage is to introduce an abundance of natural light into the
interior. This project utilizes a series of faceted volumes with large glazed openings, providing all the
interior lighting they might need. This also provides for great views to the outside landscape, where the
workers plan to do plenty of nature research on their downtime as well as when they are clocked in.

Traditional Materials used in Innovative Ways

to make the building inherently structural, and to be perfectly honest, quite remarkable. Planks are
bolted together in an elegant pattern to compose both the structure and the envelope, using the system
to take the place of two separate construction methods.
