Yes, I believe that it is possible for mega resorts/all inclusive resorts to operate under sustainable practices - but the key factor is the company vision and having the right management in place. This means abandoning the ‘economic growth at all costs’ attitude. The social and environmental impact and problems that will face the community should be highly considered.
