The proposed villages will be grouped according to language theme. The three that were identified are the German Village, the English Village and the French Village. The green resort will have the state of the art entertainment technology with small environmental impact by combining television, movies, internet, gaming, and communications into one integrated service, using ViaCLIX IPTV Systems.
