Tea Tree Eco-Resorts Set to Open in Mexico by Year's End 

By Consuela Hidalgo 

International hotel chain Tea Tree Eco-Resorts is in the final stages of building a 22-acre resort on Mexico's Mayan Riviera. The first visitors are expected to arrive by December 21. Like other Tea Tree Eco-Resorts in the Philippines, Thailand, and Greece, the new hotel will be as eco-friendly as possible. "We have solar panels generating electricity and heating the water, for instance. Furthermore, none ofthe local farmers from whom we source our ingredients for regional specialties, such as pork wrapped in banana leaves and citrus-marinated chicken soup, use any chemical pesticides at all," said general manager Jose Perez. The plan is for the facilities to be built around naturally growing trees and plant life, with structures blending in with the jungle.
