Today, environmental sustainability is booming. That is why large businessmen, such as hoteliers, try to "give a hand " to the land by using more ecological and less aggressive products. This is the case of the new hotels that you will find in some parts of the world built in bamboo. One of them, for example, is the impressive Bambú hotel located in western Guatemala.
The bungalows that make up these hotels and resorts are characterized by being made entirely of bamboo. The resistance of bamboo to all types of climates means that these house-hotels can be manufactured anywhere in the world. These bamboo houses are works of art and feature impressive craftsmanship.
Bamboo is very strong and resistant. It has twice the compressive strength of concrete and approximately the same strength-weight of steel in tension. That is why this material is becoming indispensable in areas with hurricanes and earthquakes. In 2005, after a hurricane hit the Cook Islands , the only buildings that resisted were the houses of a hotel that was in the area. The damage was minimal, while the wooden houses were destroyed.
Bungalows are built very quickly . Not too many weeks ago, a two-story construction, which will serve as a hotel, was completed in a period of eight days on the island of Hawaii . Also, did you know that bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet?
