The IQ RESORTS® portfolio introduces an entirely new model of a hotel portfolio, master-planned on a matrix of PANGEA®-exclusive TCR Vanguard® routes of knowledge that reveal novel and vital relationships among multiple heritage resources across geographies. Named PANTHALASSA® after the primeval world ocean, this matrix provides the roots and the wings for the IQ RESORTS® endeavor. Anchored in—and animating—the PANTHALASSA® matrix, each member of the IQ RESORTS® team acquires an unparalleled capacity continuously to fortify and diversify its heritage-centered products while becoming part of the exciting opportunity that a multi-resort collaborative effort opens for international science and conservation projects of unprecedented ambition and economic viability. Benefits reaped by belonging to—and helping grow—this matrix constitute another level of business, environmental, and social premiums unique to the IQ RESORTS® endeavor. PANTHALASSA® also embraces PANGEA®’s offer to weave a nation’s or a region’s heritage riches into a value-added foundation on which to build a conservation-savvy and highly sustainable tourism economy.
