Let’s start with a list of links to other landscape hotels (also see this article in the Wall Street Journal)
We’re also very inspired by the so-called Global Ecosphere Retreats (GER®) as defined by the Long Run.
GER® members of The Long Run are centers of excellence in sustainability. Each GER® member has undergone all the necessary steps of the rigorous GER® recognition process. Being a GER® demonstrates their commitment as a leader in sustainable tourism and the extensive positive impacts their business has on biodiversity and the well being of people through pursuing the holistic balance in conservation, community, culture and commerce (4Cs). We totally subscribe to this vision of operating a hospitality business.
