Green Hotel/Resort Ecomanagers

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does not provide statistics specific to ecomanagers, but reports that lodging managers averaged $49,720 per year as of May 2015. The lowest paid 10 percent earned annual incomes of $28,300 and the top paid 10 percent averaged $94,330 or higher. Managers' salaries vary depending on years of experience. Those with expertise in certain areas of eco-resort management, strong knowledge of conservation and sustainable operations, and familiarity with the local community have better chances of commanding higher incomes. Depending on the resort, ecomanagers may also be offered on-site housing or housing discounts along with salary and benefits such as health care and paid holidays.
