More Reading Materials
I came across this good publication on ecolodges published by Lao National Tourism Administration and Asian Development Bank. Even though this manual is for Laos the contents have relevance to all who have interests in ecolodges. It made fascinating reading. The contents include selection and preparation of site, use of local building material, Bungalows and multi room lodges, restaurants and common areas, construction advice, interior decoration, landscaping and gardening, safety cleanliness and hygiene, staffing issues, marketing and promotion, some examples of bad design and construction and sample architectural drawing. Go ahead have a look at it.
