DiCaprio's Restorative Project: An Eco-Tourism Move Hoteliers and Real Estate Investors should Level Up to

DiCaprio's developement of Blackadore Caye in Belize will lead to hoteliers and real estate developers in Belize to take notice and follow suite with the eco-development concepts to solidify the long term success and sustainability of Ambergris Caye, Belize.

The news about the plans of Leonardo DiCaprio’s development/restoration of Blackadore Caye has become an eye-opener to many hoteliers and real estate property investors on the possibility of healing a land through eco-development projects. It cannot be denied that climate change that is threatening the islands and coastal areas around the world have been the deciding factors of Oscar-nominee, Leonardo DiCaprio to have the restorative plans to push through in Blackadore Caye Island. According to Mr. DiCaprio, with his restorative island development project, people will become aware of the long-term benefits of incorporating eco-tourism, green building and development as well as human development in attempt to heal the land and protect the biodiversity in it. And best of all, the importance of restoring and preserving the environment for future generations.

Along with the talented biologists, ecologists, architects, scientists and engineers who will work hand in hand to turn the once unpopulated Blackadore Caye Island into a restorative island where mangroves are replanted, native species dwells in the island, soil and habitat are enhanced, and additional armature of reef and fish breeding are created; Leonardo DiCaprio have taken the green step a little further by having the other half of the $1.17m island remain untouched while the other half will be constructed with 68 villas, 48 estate homes, and a private, luxurious clubhouse. But this restorative resort of DiCaprio is not just any resort that most tourists visit in Central America because aside from the luxury that this resort will offer, they will also organize an ecology orientation program, health and wellness program as well as green living.

Unlike the typical resort which was run by fossil fuel and natural gas and is made from materials that has been nature’s number one enemy, DiCaprio’s resort will be constructed using native materials as possible and have local laborers to construct the resort after their green-building technique trainings.  The energy source of the eco-resort will be coming from the solar panels to support the electrical needs of the eco-resort while the cooling systems of the villas and real estate homes will be coming from the sea breeze. This eco-friendly idea came from the eco-tourism principles that Leonardo DiCaprio believe in as an active environmentalist which could be a good solution to save islands and coastal areas from the damages that climate change could bring. Thus, a tourist who will be entering the heaven on earth eco-resort will be dictated with the guidelines that provision what is not allowed in the resort that includes plastic water bottles.

With the restorative campaign project of Leonardo DiCaprio, it is just right that hoteliers and real estate in Ambergris Caye to follow the eco-examples that DiCaprio have set. Eco-friendly developers like Coldwell Banker Ambergris Caye strongly supports the promotion of eco-tourism and green building in many Ambergris Caye real estate for the reason that people should make a move in preserving the environment before it’s too late. Investing in eco-tourism projects the way DiCaprio invested in his Blackadore Caye Island would not probably hurt the finances of hoteliers and real estate investors because both parties will be in a win-win situation – that is preservation of Mother Earth and sustainable living.
