I agree with you about ecotourism being a high-growth field, but you have to understand that it wouldn't make any fiscal sense to sell that property now anyways. It's going to be worth ridiculous amounts later on. I mean, the island is accessible by ferry from Horseshoe bay, 20 minutes from downtown. No other small island in B.C. has that. I expect huge value increases by the the time I'm 50, and maybe then I'll sell some of it and have a nice, comfy retirement. Your business plan is sound in theory, but you're goin to have a hell of a time paying for locations. My dad was trying to buy a marina a couple years ago on Gabriola, and the property value went up over a million dollars DURING NEGOTIATIONS. Like 2 months. That's absurd. This is high-value property... it seems likely that the people who will profit from ecotourism will do so because they can afford to start it up. In other words, people with other, already lucrative business interests with which to support the venture.
