Six Senses Residences Con Dao Six Senses Residences Össurá Valley SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS In Today’s World of Disconnection With increasing work hours and growing stress levels, people find it hard to gain perspective, to focus on what really matters in life, to stop and take a deep breath. Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS Six Senses Yao Noi, Thailand We Create Places that Reconnect People. Connections can be fleeting, and easily forgotten. To sustain them we strive to create memories. To be lasting they must be unique - not just a perfect martini, but a perfect moment. The most powerful memories are built from a shared moment of discovery or a shared moment of change. Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS Six SensesZil Pasyon, Seychelles By Reintroducing People to Themselves, Others, and the World Around Them. In such a world human connections suffer.

Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS By Starting From Within, and Believing in Doing Good. Born optimists, we see goodness and potential for the greater good in everything. We could not hope to care for our guests if we did not first care for our people and the communities we are part of. Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS By Living for Today and Planning for Tomorrow. In our development, design and daily operations, we act responsibly to measure and minimize our carbon footprint and impact on the environment, all through active management of energy, water, waste, biodiversity, purchasing and chemicals usage. By giving Mother Nature a major say in everything we do, we protect the long-term future of our business. Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, Vietnam SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS By Being Part of the Local Fabric. We don’t build castles on hills. Our architecture and building practices make smart use of the natural land topography and materials. We are rooted in the local culture, working closely with architects, artisans and suppliers who live nearby. Our food is grown in not flown in, and we only work with farmers and producers who believe in the same ethical and sustainability standards as we do. And it’s not just about tasting local but experiencing local: the best dive spots, hikes and pop-up clubs that immerse guests into the destination and people. Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS By Being Refreshingly Human. Fun & Quirky aren’t values that you would ordinarily associate with the hospitality and wellness business. But then again, we are anything but ordinary. Our curiosity and desire to explore allow us and our guests to discover unexpected ways to reconnect every single day. Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS By Listening Rather than Talking. An approach to service that begins with empathy and a desire to understand the guest’s needs and wants, both spoken and unspoken. Because we understand that people are driven by emotions, our intuitive approach to service means that every guest receives a richer and more personal experience.

Our chefs are guided by the principles of natural ingredients, local and sustainable and less is more. They indulge their love for hearty and healthy menus full of color, taste and joy, while unapologetically avoiding the bad stuff (flavor enhancers, lectins, lactose, gluten and sugar). Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS By Introducing a Groundbreaking Sleep Standard. Because the importance of sleep goes way beyond just banishing under-eye circles, we’ve worked with internationally-renowned experts including Sleep Doctor Michael J. Breus to bring together some of the best sleeping tools. From handmade mattresses and temperature regulating bedding to organic cotton sheets, sleep apps and more, we provide ideal conditions for a restful slumber while at Six Senses, and share additional knowledge for restorative sleep back home. Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS Six Senses Fiji By Believing that Well-Being is not just for Grownups. Our children’s activities promote positive well-being by incorporating the six dimensions of wellness: social, environmental, physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual. From flying yoga and cooking workshops to spa treatments, upcycling at Earth Lab and arts and crafts, the focus is switching off the devices and switching on the fun. Copyright 2020 Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas | www.sixsenses.com SIX SENSES HOTELS RESORTS SPAS By OfferingSmart Tools and Inspiration. Gaining a deeper insight into a guest’s current health reality starts with a non-invasive screening which analyzes key physiological markers, and continues with movement efficiency testing, sleep tracking and skin analysis. Depending on the results, our experts recommend a personalized program that may include spa treatments, nutrition, fitness and mindset activities to deliver wellness from the inside out and outside in.

    Exhibit R-163 Martha Honey et.al, Impact of Tourism Related Development on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, Summary Report, Center for Responsible Travel April 2010 Impact of Tourism Related Development on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica Summary Report By: Martha Honey Erick Vargas William H. Durham Center for Responsible Travel A Nonprofit Research Organization Stanford University and Washington, DC www.responsibletravel.org April 2010 Foreword The following Summary Report, based on two years of research and some two dozen individual studies by a team of Costa Rican and U.S. experts, offers the first multidimensional analysis of the phenomena that Costa Ricans have dubbed “residential tourism.” While this term has become popular, most Costa Ricans have had little understanding of its dimensions and implications for the country, the country’s Pacific coast, or Costa Rica’s tourism industry. The study traces the origins of this coastal transformation from the 1970s to the present, with particular focus on the real estate and construction boom and bust (caused by the global economic crisis) from 2002 through 2009. As members of the Advisory Committee that has assisted the research team, we believe that the study’s findings and recommendations can play a constructive role in helping to foment public discussion, civic engagement, and policy reforms to ensure a sustainable economy in coastal and marine tourism. Over the last decade, Costa Rica’s Pacific coast has become one of the epicenters in the Americas for rapid beach resort and vacation home development closely tied to the U.S. market. Together with cruise ship tourism, residential tourism is transforming swaths of the physical landscape and displacing or competing for resources with many fishing, farming, and ranching communities in the coastal zone.

  • The Best of Costa Rica
    05_587943_ch01.qxd 7/15/05 5:27 PM Page 4 1 The Best of Costa Rica For years, Costa Rica was the well-kept secret of a few biologists, backpackers, and beachcombers, but that’s all changed. The secret is out. Today Costa Rica is the hottest destination in Latin America. The country is a major vacation and adventure-travel destination, and tourism has become the nation’s number-one source of income. Despite the boom in vacationers, Costa Rica remains a place rich in natural wonders and biodiversity, far from the maddening crowds. Here you can still find unsullied beaches that stretch for miles, small lodgings that haven’t attracted hordes of tourists, jungle rivers for rafting and kayaking, and spectacular cloud and rainforests with ample opportunities for bird-watching and hiking. In addition to the country’s trade- mark eco- and adventure tourism offerings, recent years have seen the opening of a handful of large luxury resorts and golf courses, with more on the way. This is my 10th year putting this book together, and the “best of” experiences keep on coming. In this chapter I’ve selected the very best of what this unique country has to offer. Most of these places and experiences are covered in greater detail elsewhere in the book; this chapter is merely meant to give you an overview of the highlights so you can start planning your own adventure. 1 The Best of Natural Costa Rica • Rincón de la Vieja National Park east): This is a prime place for an (northeast of Liberia, in Guanacaste): ecolodge experience.
