Long shot - Can you help? where/why is the word "ecoalbergue" used? what is the definition?

[Pegasus]

Google links to a specific hotel by that name.  Seems to mean something like "environmentally friendly shelter/hotel".  DD is working on some Spanish homework and neither of us can figure out that in the world the instructor means by "where/why" the word is used.

 

Any ideas?  This was brought up in the last class period with the instructor and she just said "Oh, use Google."

Where appears to be Nicaragua.

Thanks.  DD did decide to use Nicaragua as the where, based on the most Google references.  She's just going to "wing" the rest. I can only guess that the intent of the exercise is to answer the questions using full sentences in Spanish. . .not necessarily a specific answer that the instructor is looking for.

Do you mean "eco albergue"? That translates to "eco hostel" or "eco lodge" according to my sources.

I found this explanation:

 

"Un ecoalbergue es una cabaña o casa ecológica que se encuentra en una reserva u ambiente natural."

Ecoalbergue is used in Spain too.
