Marinas - Sustainable Solutions for a Profitable Business

MARINAS-Sustainable Solutions for a Profitable Business deserves a place on the desk and is essential reading material for any marina developer or operator. It gives a take on today's thought leadership that will become the benchmark for tomorrow's new and refurbished marinas. The first in a series, this book examines what is happening in today's marinas and explores the horizons of new technology and how they can be successfully applied to the business model. The authors demonstrate throughout the book how marinas that embrace the ethos of hospitality and design their facilities to provide an exceptional customer will be those that succeed. The book examines how marinas impact the environment, how they can be designed to blend with ecologically sensitive sites and the advent of the "green and clean" marina. It contains hitherto uncollected information and maps showing the location of the world's 17,300 marinas. With levels of detailed information not to be found anywhere in a single source, this book is one that no serious marina developer, owner or operator can afford to leave out of their library.
