The long awaited book – AUTHENTIC ECOLODGES was recently launched at the International Ecotourism Conference in Oregon USA.
Claimed to be the most all-encompassing and holistic book ever created in the hospitality industry – Stunning photos, professional illustrations, site plans and text that has substance is also printed on environmentally friendly FSC certified paper.
The process involved a 7-year $700,000 odyssey that took the author through 46 countries in six continents. Said author Hitesh Mehta “The main reason I have done this book is to create environmental and social awareness around the world. AUTHENTIC ECOLODGES is a one of a kind book.”
"As one of the world’s leaders in sustainable landscapes, Mehta is a visionary in his field. Authentic Ecolodges promises to be a must have reference guide, perfect for anyone interested in the future of tourism facilities, sustainable architecture, and the health and wellâ€being of our planet” said Signe Bergstrom, Editor Collins Design.
The lodges in the book are from $15 a night to over $500 a night and so this book is an awesome resource ( the first table-book of its kind ) for people out there who want to go on a memorable vacation/honeymoon and make a difference at the same time.
The Site Plans, text and sketches are catered to professionals, professors and students. Having created the criteria system (2002) and definition of ecolodges (2005), the author has now introduced in this book, the first ever International Ecolodge Rating System. Each ecolodge has been physically inspected and rated with a butterfly system.
