What is Ecotourism?
The concept of eco tourism is entirely a new side of tourism industry. Ec tourism has been developed to appreciate the natural beauty, culture and history of the environment without disturbing the eco system. It is in one way creating economic opportunities for conservation of natural resources and wildlife on the other hand it is creating awareness among people to protect nature to maintain a balanced ecosystem.

Why Should You Invest?
We believe that this is a great place for you to invest in a company, with its great vartiations of plant and animal life, its beautiful scenery, and its vast history. First of all, there is already prominent ecotourism that takes place in the Himalayas. Among all the places in India the Himalayan eco tourism is the most visited destination. so this proves that with good funding and ideas, ecotourism in this region can make money. To incorporate our own style of ecotourism we would like to establish a 5-star lodging unit at the base of Mount Everest or one of the other famous mountains. Due to the proximity to one of the well-known mountains, people will be more inclined to visit. And the fact that there are activities to do all year round will increase our revenue because we will not be only a seasonal business.
Gross Primary Productivity Estimates
We will offer a 3-night, 1-week, and 10-day, all-inclusive package. This includes the stay at the lodge, complimentary meals and snacks, and the opportunities to partake in any of the various tourist activities listed above. To begin with, we will charge $3900 for the 3-night stay, $7450 for the week-long stay, and $10000 for the 10-day stay. As you can see the more nights you stay the lower the rate per nights you pay. We are expecting our initial expenses on the facility to be around $10 million and weekly expenses to be around $3500 (this is fairly low because we will be using various eco-friendly aspects that will limit the amount of power, heat, and electricity that will be used). So though it might take a while for our business to be in the green, once we start gaining a profit, our total revenue each week will average out to be around $100000, and with our weekly expenses being so low our total revenue per week will only be slightly higher than the weekly profit.
