ECO-RESORT / GREEN CHAIN RESORT

INNOVATION OBJECTIVE = Problem Statement

In what ways might we… develop an eco-resort that would ensure positive environmental
effects of it in the long run

Building Blocks:

1. Regulations
2. People
3. Places
4. Accessibility
5. Overall health

6. Structure??

Target low-hanging fruit to start - finding where to put

Chances that resort has already eco-friendly programs, but there is almost always room
for improvement.

Substitute Ideas
1. Regulations - Developing own Eco-Friendly / Sustainable Code of Ethics
2. People - Provide environmental education services to the ecotourists, preferentially
using guides
3. Places - Locations that are suitable for establishing this kind of resort, so it wouldn’t
disturbed people, especially natural tribes, "livability and visitation" theme communities
Locating the resort in a livability and visitation theme communities

transportation
5. Overall health - Collect data on ecotourist visitation to understand current levels of use
and as a baseline for future mitigation strategies
6. Structure - Replacing plastic keycards with smart locks, access codes, and keyless entry
systems.

Combine Ideas
1. Regulations - could work with their associations to create an eco-friendly and sustainable
code. (?)

energy (SDG 7), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) and climate action
(SDG 13)

sensors

Maximize Ideas
1. Regulations - Use/Buy environmentally-friendly paper for office, bills, receipts
2. People - Providing a training to employees that would nurture themselves as they
represent the resort in a great light

trips and switch fixed-route-and-schedule services to flexible on-demand

possible
6. Structure - Embrace a more energy-efficient building design

Minimize Ideas
1. Regulations - Minimize misunderstandings between the associations and the resort

become financially overdepen-dent on ecotourism

system, and/or air conditioner or refrigerant condensate for needs such as irrigation,
toilet flushing, or fire suppression systems.
5. Overall health - Minimize pollution related to reaching the resort location/ remote travel
destination
 6. Structure - Reduce "standby power" (the energy used while an appliance is switched off
or not performing) at home and at work

Modify Ideas
1. Regulations - Create a sustainable/green purchasing policy for cleaners, sanitizers,
paints, pesticides, office supplies, etc.
2. People - Learn about other water and energy saving opportunities

3. Places - creating an organic food garden for the kitchen and purchasing plants that are
native to the area

5. Overall health - schedule an energy audit through your local energy provider - or through
a local energy auditor (aka energy consultant)
6. Structure - Orbital Systems’ Nasa-inspired smart water-saving shower

Reverse Ideas
1. Regulations - Establish clear guidelines for human access in the ecotourism area,
making it more or less restrictive according to season, conservation status, and
sensitivities of species and environments to human disturbance
