Extraordinary Experiences
Visionary French entrepreneur Guy Mazzoni, created Terra Nova – El Nido private beach resort in 2014.
His success was built around international trading and real estate investment in Hong Kong, Vietnam, China.
Terra Nova – El Nido private beach resort is located in El Nido on the island of Palawan, a location registered as a Unesco World Heritage site.
It’s intended to protect the region from the economic disparity created by mass tourism, by opening a uniquely operated private resort with an offer of sustainable activities around.
Unlike other major local and international real estate groups specializing in intensive development and profitability at all costs, Guy Mazzoni have opted for a more social approach by developing eco-tourism activities and supporting the local population.
The Foundation has mostly supported local schools for which it received some certificates of appreciation and recognition in Liminangcong, and has also sponsored educational activities with medical missions as well.
Shouldered originally by the Guy Mazzoni Foundation, Terra Nova resort opened its doors to volunteers from around the world and investors in the project are also welcome from 2021.
