THE AMAZON

It is the largest tropical rainforest in the planet, creating 20%of the world’s oxygen and water. Its territory encompasses ninecountries and more than seven millions square kilometers.

The Amazon is also the “lung to the world” and the symbol of wealth in natural resources. Its future lies between the handsof the 15 millions inhabitants occupying the territory and onaction plans aiming at the preservation of the natural reserve. Thus, sustainable development is implemented, it is a World’sconcern.




THE SOUTH AMERICAN SPIRIT

Known as the symbol of our natural resources, the Amazon hadalways been the inspirational core of the Latin South Americans.

In museums and private collections of Peru or Colombia, wecan observe that the Pre-Colombian art is mainly inspired bythe Amazon.

The Pre-Colombian civilization is basically focused on spiritualbeliefs binding man to nature, indulging strong symbols of the Amazon wildlife such as the jaguar, monkey, snake or birds.

The Amazon is also a population living by ancestral supersti-tious beliefs, which have long been gone in the Andes Cordillera.

COLOMBIA

In Colombia, the Amazon represents more than 40% of thenational territory. A country between the Pacic and AtlanticOcean, it is strategically located between the Andes and Brazil.

Colombia is one of the countries experiencing economic growthin Latin America, offering a greater potential to the develop-ment of tourism.

The recent president prioritize the development of tourismand allowing foreign investments which stands out as the thirdsource of revenue in the country.

«Investors Can’t Get Enough Of Colombia»by Nicole Hong, The Wall Street Journal March, 11th 2014

Many investors have been stampeding out of emerging-market bonds,

but they’re falling in love with Colombia.Investors have poured $622.5 million into Colombia’s bond marketsince the start of the year, the biggest inow into any emerging-marketcountry so far in 2014, according to fund ow tracker EPFR Global.Foreign ownership of Colombian bonds doubled last year

Colombia’s bond market has much more room to mature than manyof its Latin American peers.

Colombia’s economic growth is also expected to pick up this year, with subdued ination, a rarity among Latin American countries.

Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor’s both upgraded Colombia againlast year.

11. THE ECOTOURISM PROJECT

After analyzing the potential of the Amazon and considering the strongpolitical engagement in developping

tourism in this region of Colombia, weforesee the Nomad lodges Amazonas

project to be the best feasible investmentopportunity in a luxurious ecotourismproject, a niche still unexplored in the

region.

2 0 1 2 - 2 0 14




THE CONCEPT

Having visited more than 300 lodges in South America andevaluating the advantages and inconveniences of each, it is clearthat the project Nomad lodges Amazonas is the role model ofan ecotourism based on preservation of natural reserves, tea-ching and respecting the local population and quality service.

The project consist in investing on sutainable infrastructures,a teaching program to the local communities and promotingecotourism nationally and internationally.

After analysis followed by the different visits made in place, we dene that the future infrastructure in the park should beable to accommodate a wide array of guests.




THE PROJECT

All means will be gathered together in order to promote theNomad lodges Amazonas project nationally and internationallyby using the Amazon as a symbol of a new era for ecotourismin the world.

Our investors will be more like donors. They will be part of apioneering project in the heart of a powerful symbol of envi-ronmental protection.

On the other hand, unlike passive donators, our investors willhave the opportunity to visit the place, to invite their familyand friends or guest-in, so that they can realize that throughtheir support, a real preservation project of the Amazon isbeing developed in collaboration with the national parks andthe indigenous communities.

The project’s investment is based on 5 million dollars reclai-med within 5 years with a recoup of 17% after the fth year of

operation.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE

After several journeys made to this place, we have chosen aplot of 94 hectares near the Amacayacu National Park with639 meters of river front and 1’500 meters inside the forest.

Six double bungalows for two couples or a family up to sixpeople maximum (twin beds with an extra bed per room). Thebungalows will be on a structure built on stilts overlooking theriver and the forest.




Two boats will transport guests rapidly and comfortably to thelodge with a oating platform intended for their boarding off. A foot bridge will give access to the main building’s reception,restaurant, bar and library. From this building, guests will bedirected to their bungalow by walkways.

The strategic location of the Amacayacu, at the center of the Amazon and bordering three countries helps the “birth” ofecotourism in the world.

1II. ECOTOURISM

We believe that ecotourism is the solutionto the preservation of the Amazon

rainforest providing the local communitiethat inhabits these lands, the necessary

input to the preservation of their cultureand their environment.

2 0 1 2 - 2 0 1 4




OUR VISION AND MISSION

We are condent that this project will be a model of the envi-ronmental preservation, replicable in other sensitive areas ofour planet.

We also hope that the cost efciency of this project, will allowecotourism to become a solution for an income to all regionsof the country, the continent and the world, instead of lessenvironmental awareness activities (mining, hydrocarbons,forestry…).

This new concept of ecotourism should also improve the colla-boration between private companies, indigenous communitiesand public sector.

To give prominent value for the indigenous culture and bringrevenues to communities involved in the project and avoid ruralexodus of younger population of the community.

.




SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

All activities and infrastructure related to the project will bedeveloped in respect of the environment as well as to the localculture and minimize the impact on nature.

The materials used for construction will be selected based onits capacity to be recycled and their origin limiting to 1’000km with the ability to be transported by boat. We made a list of companies that match these criteria. The project will be using a maximum of renewable energy and will have a water treatment facility.

.

2 0 1 2 - 2 0 1 4



PURCHASING POLICY

Seventy percent of the food will come from the indigenouscommunities, from a distance of less than 10 km. The rest willbe transported by boat from the town of Leticia.

Fifty percent of the construction materials used on the infras-tructure and the common daily products will come from thetown of Leticia, located at 70km by boat.

Twenty-ve percent of all the supplies will be coming fromIquitos, a city in Peru located at 300 km by the Amazon Riverand the rest from Manaus, a city in Brazil located at 1’200 kmby boat on the Amazon.

Navigating by the river is themost environmental friendlymeans of transportation.




MANAGING WATERCONSUMPTION



IV . CONTRIBUTION TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES

In the Amazon, the indigenouscommunities represent more than 45% of

the local population.

Ecotourism represents a way to value theiculture, knowledge and their land.

We need their cooperation for thedevelopment of ecotourism in the Amazon

INDIGENOUSCOMMUNITIES



FAIR TR ADE

All means of preserving the environment and the local culture will be set up.

The project will be educative, create jobs and help improve thelife of six indigenous communities in the region. It will offera stable economy based on a long-term, motivating youngergenerations of the community to remain in their native landand putting upfront their culture and the «know-how», taughtby their ancestral.

This local movement will avoid rural exodus of remote popula-tion, as well as the proliferation of companies such as mining,oil and forestry in these regions.




The total revenue of the guided tours, handicraft sales or foodconsumption from their own “chagras” (garden) will be entirelyreturned to the local communities.

As expected in the project, there will be 60 people from neigh-boring communities assigned to ensure the visits and thedifferent tasks related in welcoming guests to the park.

The total income of entrance fees will be received directly bythe national park of Colombia.

Project investors will receive the income generated by thesales from tourist arrangements, the overnight stay, from theconsumption of food, beverages and boat transportations.

The arrival of foreign tourists in Colombia rose from 600thousand in the year 2000 to 1.7 million in 2012, showing anaverage annual growth of 10%. This gure is three times higherthan the world’s average, and is among the most impressive inthe region. (Immigration Department of Colombia – Ministryof Trade, Industry and Tourism, 2013).

The number of visitors expected in 2013 is more than 2 million. The potential tourism growth in Colombia is estimated to betwice the average of South America and three times greaterthan the rest of the world.

The positioning of the government is clearly in favor of encou-raging investments related to ecotourism with tax exemptionfor up to 30 years in the hospitality industry, positioning thecountry as the most interesting region in terms of investments.
