Coppola Visits Amazon To Search For Next Eco-Resort

August 31st 2007

_40835260_coppola_ap203.jpgWhile the last the thing the world needs is another resort development, you would find little argument that the environmental stewardship and vision of director Francis Ford Coppola makes such endeavors bearable. The eco-resort mogul, best known for his Godfather movies, has invested in the creation of several green tourist accommodations around the world and now has his sights set on the rainforests of Brazil for his next project. From the article,

“With several Californian wineries, resorts in Guatemala and Belize, and an Argentinean hotel boutique already under his belt this investor is now skimming through Brazil as a possible location for his next resort, according to Brazilian land resource officials. What is this next investment? A tourist resort to say the least, according to media reports. Coppola arrived in Florianopolis, a southern Brazilian city, this week to look for land to build a resort, said G1.Globo.com news site. “Coppola is among the pioneers of upscale ecotourism,” according to USA today.”

Judging by the examples in green building set by his resorts in Belize and Guatemala, we can expect this latest development to feature sustainable building materials, renewable energy sources, and organic gardens. That, and a general blending with the surrounding nature. For a look at Coppola’s three current getaways, click here to visit the official site.
