The Emerald Forest Bungalowpark Simulation
".. This platform with more then 5,966 pages is supporting new management teams in running my park, Emerald Forest. I would kindly like to welcome you all to this game! My name is Frank Bergman: me and my family used to own Emerald Forest, a bungalow park with 500 bungalows. In fact we still own the park for 50%, but we are in urgent need of new management insights! You as well as a number of other teams have the opportunity to show us you can do better then we did the last years...I will surely keep an eye on you, as I still an active member of the Board of Directors. I wish you all lots of success!"

This platform and more
This platform will support you in all aspects of the Management Game Emerald Forest
- all information
- lots of communication
- your teams financial input (= the decisions you will make)
- your teams financial results are to be found here.
- this game is Web 2.0 powered.
Bungalow Park Emerald Forest is a beautiful place, as you are about to find out.
You are assigned to manage the park and keep it commercially and financially healthy, keep it independent and to show vision on how to run a company like this. In this site the game will be supported in many different ways, but you will also make your decisions here, store files and work with Flickr, Youtube, Twitter, and Google Earth, discuss with others, discuss with your coaches or get advice from teams in other competitions.
We are building continuously in this game and on the international component.
