The Paradise Islands is a truly unique tropical paradise for eco resort and private island developments. The natural environment hosts many features and benefits to enhance eco resort and private island development profitability.
Some unique eco-tourism or vertical integration opportunities for astute developers are
- AQUACULTURE and MARICULTURE
Both for internal use, and also as a provider regionally and internationally (Singapore and Malaysia) - AGRICULTURE
With the province hosting mostly artisanal farmers and yet having a perfect tropical environment all year round, the location is ideal to have a resort that self sustains with food produce, but excess land can be readily utilised to supply premium produce regionally, or further afield, and potentially highly profitable if due to the lack of contaminants and pollution, it is an ideal location to grow and supply organic produce. - DIVE COURSES and TOURS
The paradise islands are a gazetted marine park, and host abundant, rare and ancient corals around the islands. The Anambas are known in the sailing and diving community to be one of the most rich and varied environments for both corals and tropical fish species, and direct transport from Singapore will make the islands even more accessible to this market. - REGIONAL TOURS
The growing eco-tourism market often focuses on social initiatives and local produce and inhabitants, and regional tours of local villages, their produce and markets would be a popular option for guests. - ANNUAL LEATHERBACK TURTLE NESTING
Anambas beaches are frequented by turtle egg laying during various times of the year, and conservation groups frequently travel to Anambas to assist hatchlings to survive the journey back into the waters. Catering for these groups with transport to and from nesting sites would be a well patronised inclusion - ESTABLISHING THE FIRST “CARBON NEUTRAL” or “CARBON POSITIVE” RESORT
There is an opportunity that by using algal mariculture and other sustainable initiatives, that the first carbon neutral or carbon positive resort could be built. This is a one-off marketing opportunity that would enable the developer to capitalise on in the long term.
