Eco Park Resort Group aims to develop a self-sustainable Eco Resort Park that would use natural resources in order to power its infrastructure and tokenize its securities through blockchain technology.<\/p>\n

The platform taps into the concept of real estate asset tokenization wherein a real estate asset is converted into a token on the blockchain and put up for sale. This innovative method can help organizations and companies raise capital from crowd sales and thereby makes the funding accessible to a broader section of the audience.<\/p>\n

Eco Park Resort Group\u2019s utility token ECO is developed for use to pay for any services or products in their resorts. The token is currently in its presale round and can be bought here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In conversation with Eco Park Resort Group CEO and founder, Nick Vermeyen we discussed the Eco Park Resort Group platform, their presale, the Eco Coin, collaborations, and much more.<\/p>\n

1. Tell us more about your vision behind creating the Eco Park Resort Group?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

The vision and the idea behind creating Eco Park Resort are that after being in the Real Estate industry for the past years I learned that young families, find it harder to come up with a down payment for a house since the Real Estate market is climbing every year in prices so I came up with the idea of fractional ownership, started doing my research, turns out that it is something that isn\u2019t widely done, even though it has been around for several years, but due to the paperwork involved it just isn\u2019t attractive enough for big investor groups or construction companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

After reading more and more about Tokenization with Blockchain Technology,\u00a0<\/span>I threw myself into my work and did all the research I possibly could on fractional ownership combined with blockchain technology, and turn that into a concept where we can give mainstream access to investments, while at the same time being able to enjoy different benefits. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some friends told me their parents bought an apartment together with a few other couples, <\/span>the construction company is and stays the main investor and holds most of the building but all the other smaller investors like my friend\u2019s parents,\u00a0<\/span>own part of the apartment building, enjoying tax advantages and earning a side income, while at the same time having a place to go to every year and have a family vacation.<\/span>Then we created the concept of Eco Park Resorts and refined it over the past year during covid-19, took all the ideas, market research, possibilities, etc\u2026 together,\u00a0<\/span>and made it into what we stand for today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Eco Park Resort is a project that will mainly focus on bringing access to investments for all households with different forms of investing, being it in our Utility Token ECO Coin or our future Security Tokens, and become part-owners of the park, this way small investors can start within their budget, and big investors can diversify their portfolio or invest a custom set amount.<\/span><\/p>\n

As well will we focus on Eco-Development and be an example to other resorts and hotels, to tokenize their securities and implement blockchain technology into their corporate structure, and climate change into their business model, meaning you do not need to lose any comfort or style by incorporating Eco-friendly materials and ways of construction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. What makes the platform stand out from the rest of the space?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a unique concept, Not one hotel or resort chain has done this before, as far as we know we are the first in the Hospitality Industry to ever tokenize their assets using Blockchain technology, <\/span>and this is on a Carbon Free Blockchain, thanks to Polygon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Of course, there are companies out there that tokenized their stocks already or implemented blockchain technology into their corporate structure,\u00a0<\/span>but focusing on Eco-Development and being a Luxury Hotel or Resort, <\/span>No, not yet, & we are the ones or at-least hope to become one of the industry leaders and set the example to other big hotel & resort chains in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. What is the Eco Coin? What are the use cases of the coin?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Eco Coin is our Utility token, based on the Polygon blockchain technology.\u00a0<\/span>It is one of the core assets of Eco Park Resorts.\u00a0<\/span>Users possessing Eco Coins can buy them, to hold, stake & earn rewards, book their holidays,\u00a0<\/span>or use them in our Resorts and enjoy a membership and a fixed discount based on the number of Eco Coins they hold in their wallets, these discounts apply on almost every service in our Eco Park Resorts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples being, pay your bill in our restaurant or bar, paying for any service offered, and even buying or exchanging your token will be an option in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n
