• À la Koh Kood

  Area: Thailand
  Year: 2019

  

  À la Koh Kood translates to 'In a style of Koh Kood' À la Koh Kood is an overwater villa resort based in Koh Kood, one of the last standing islands in Thailand that still hasn't been exploited heavily by the tourism industry.
  
  Like the virgin Koh Kood, they aim to be mindful in their practice of hosting and reduce their carbon footprint on the ecosystem.
  
  The Problem:
  The client aims to develop a sustainable business model by improving its operational efficiency and sustainable practices without compromising on guests' experience.
  
  Our Approach:
  180DC NUS crafted a sustainable business model by assessing the operational processes and effectiveness in the resort. We then identified and prioritized sustainability areas such as Materials Usage and Waste Management to focus on. We tied our approach together by providing feasibile recommendations to improve processes for the resort.

  What I liked most was the realistic approach to what is doable, adapting strategies if necessary and bringing in practical ideas which completely matches our philosophy.

• À la Koh Kood

  Area: Thailand
  Year: 2019

  

  À la Koh Kood translates to 'In a style of Koh Kood' À la Koh Kood is an overwater villa resort based in Koh Kood, one of the last standing islands in Thailand that still hasn't been exploited heavily by the tourism industry.
  
  Like the virgin Koh Kood, they aim to be mindful in their practice of hosting and reduce their carbon footprint on the ecosystem.
  
  The Problem:
  The client wanted to explore ways to engage internal and external stakeholders within the Koh Kood Island community, and to increase their adoption of conservation practices
  
  Our Approach:
  180DC NUS crafted a thorough community engagement strategy that targeted both internal stakeholders such as employees, and external stakeholders such as local residents, the government, schools and even competitors.
  
  We conducted primary and / or secondary research to better understand each stakeholder, prioritized their needs, and curated a hyper-targeted engagement strategy for each stakeholder. This allowed for a deeper and more value-added engagement and collaboration for the resort.

  We're impressed with the insightful background research, particularly on education and partnership; very well done despite the language barrier. The prioritized activities and plans according to the timeline is also crucially useful in kickstarting our action.
  
  What I especially appreciate is how detailed and hands-on the plans are, it is as if the team would be walking through every step of implementation with us. Identifying concrete milestones also makes the vision more realistic and no longer as intimidating to me as it was in the beginning!
