“This is a neat combination of science lab and tourism. The lab’s outreach methods seem really interesting to not only entice tourists but also local stakeholders.”
“Can this model it be exported? This is a great example of corporate intrepidness and an innovative CSR program.”
“This initiative demonstrates a powerful marketing effort and a comprehensive approach to sustainability. It is a great model that could influence existing players in the field, such as other large hotels and resorts who could promote environmental stewardship through tourism.”
