Making the Business Case
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE GREEN RESORT CONSULTING BUSINESS PLAN
Opening Statement
Green Resort Consulting will implement sustainable infrastructure into large scale resort operations. Taking a look at all aspects of the resort, sustainable implementer crews will collaborate, teach, and help departments to take on sustainable frameworks into their short and long term functions. The goal with these crews is to look for areas that are excessive, wasteful or inefficient. All areas of the company will be assessed from high level operations such as energy and water use to waste management to marketing consumer facing initiatives and beyond. Long term cost-savings, use of green certified alternative products, obtaining eco-labels and greener practices for the betterment of the resort as a solid functioning entity would be the end result. This business will strive from turning highly successful resorts into triple bottom line companies with a purpose. Not only will it save the company money but it will provide a lasting entity that will sustain the environment and community it lives in and additionally attract consumers through conscious eco branding.

Mission
Green Resort Consulting, elevates the value of resorts to more than a revenue generating tourist attraction, it builds responsibility, integrity, and longevity.
Vision
Building a world where tourism provides just as much value for the communities and environment it impacts as for the travelers visiting. We provide resorts the opportunity to make a lasting positive change on their community and the world. Trained in conscious decision making the resorts we work with step up to the challenge of meeting their customers wants as well as taking care of the planet and realizing their true costs.
Values
We believe in travel as a necessary aspect of life. The connections, exposure, and empathy it builds to all the beautiful places and people in the world are priceless. By ensuring sustainable tourism, resorts can host their travelers responsibly with the future of the planet in mind.
SUSTAINABLE IMPLEMENTOR CREWS
These contract teams go into resorts and implement sustainable systems into their logistics, day to day systems, products used and business development. These silos would focus on resources used and waste management. For example, if water waste, paper and plastic reduction, and energy were focused on in large-scale corporations and resorts, there would be a massive reduction in their annual negative impact summary. Once these implementar pillars were executed, we would focus on local products and goods being utilized.
Green Resort Consulting has an Executive Outreach team to support, define, and lead the implementer crews. There is also a team for each aspect of expertise that we cover in our consulting. Each team will permanently consist of a director. Full-time or contract collaborators will be added to these teams on a per project basis. These teams are projected to be 1-5 people depending on the project and local resources. A goal would be to build a network of expert region freelancers to utilize when needed.
