  "abstract": "This research proposal presents a framework that integrates Life-Cycle Costing (LCC) and the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV) into the investment appraisal of sustainable tourism developments in Egypt. Using the conceptual “Viridian Resort”, a luxury eco-resort built primarily from Paulownia wood, as a case study, it compares a bio-based resort with a conventional reinforced-concrete baseline across CAPEX, OPEX, maintenance and replacement costs under energy-price, currency and material-failure scenarios. The study aims to help investors and developers reconcile the initial green premium with long-term financial viability. All figures are preliminary assumptions to be validated.",
