Over the past five years, the population of Vancouver Island Coast has
grown by more than 10%. In Victoria alone, the tourism industry employs 30,000 people and generates around $750 million in annual revenue. Eco-tourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry. It attracts people's desire for a taste of unspoiled natural experience as well as getting away from the urban jungle of everyday life. Visitors of Vancouver Island can enjoy many activities such as: bird watching, wildlife watching, walking a cathedral forest, going sport fishing, ocean kayaking, or scuba diving.

The goal of my project is to find a potential location for a summer getaway resort. This will enable tourist to live with the wilderness and enjoy the natural landscape. If possible, I would like to locate the resort in a place that has existing natural sporting facilities. With this resort, I hope people will be motivated to conserve the environment and to appreciate the natural landscape craft out by Mother Nature.
