Ngesikhathi soSuku Lomhlaba kuleli Sonto, indikimba yazo ethi “Qeda Ukungcoliswa Kwepulasitiki”, izindawo zokungcebeleka zaseSt. Lucia's Anse Chastanet naseJade Mountain ziqinisekisa ukuzibophezela kwabo kwezemvelo ngokuqeda amaphesenti angama-90 epulasitiki asebenzisa into eyodwa ekusebenzeni kwawo .
Zakhiwe ngokucophelela ukuqinisekisa ukuphazamiseka okuncane endaweni enhle engamahektare angama-600 emagqumeni aseSoufrière aseSt. Lucia, i-Anse Chastanet nempahla yangodadewabo, iJade Mountain, yizindawo zokunqoba eziklonyeliswe ezokuvakasha ezinesibopho. Ngokuqaphela umthelela wepulasitiki ezindaweni zomhlaba nezasolwandle, amaqembu okuphatha izindawo zokungcebeleka aqala ukugxila ngaphakathi ekwehliseni nasekuqedeni amapulasitiki ekusebenzeni kwawo ngo-2015.
Kusukela lapho, lezi zindawo zokungcebeleka sezihambile kakhulu ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kwepulasitiki nasekutholakaleni ezinye izindlela zokudala kuplastiki bezitsha zokudla, imishini yokusika, izinkomishi notshani. Lokhu kufaka ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo yokhuni, yensimbi neye-melamine kanye nezinto ezisuselwa kummbila kanye nomoba, futhi kumise ngokushesha ukuthengwa kwemikhiqizo ethile yepulasitiki ne-Styrofoam.
"Sigqugquzela umkhakha wokungenisa izihambi ukuthi uhlolisise ukusetshenziswa kwabo kwamapulasitiki bese uhlanganyela ezingxoxweni namaqembu abo," kusho uNick Troubetzkoy, umqondisi ophethe i-Anse Chastanet neJade Mountain. "Imvamisa izixazululo zokudala nezisebenzayo zibekwe eqenjini lakho nokwenza abasebenzi bakho babambe iqhaza ngqo ekutholeni izixazululo nakho kusiza ekuqinisekiseni ukuthengwa komjikelezo wokuzibophezela odingekayo ukuze kuguqulwe."
Emiphakathini yezindawo zokungcebeleka, kwafakwa izingquza zepulasitiki ngotshani obenziwe ngesitashi sommbila futhi manje, iziphuzo zinikezwa ngotshani kuphela uma ziceliwe - ngaphandle kweziphuzo ezimbalwa ezikhethekile. "Impendulo yezivakashi kulokhu ibe yinhle, njengoba 'bethenga' ngokukhululekile futhi bemukela lolu hlelo,” kusho uTroubetzkoy.
Izinkomishi zepulasitiki azisatholakali eziteshini zokungcebeleka zabasebenzi zokungcebeleka - esikhundleni salokho, abasebenzi baletha izinkomishi noma amabhodlela abo asebenza kabusha. Lolu shintsho oluncane kuma-akhawunti alo okususwa kweziqukathi zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye ezingaphezu kwezi-500 nsuku zonke. Enkantini yabasebenzi, indawo yokusika izinsimbi ithathe indawo yezinsimbi zepulasitiki, futhi abasebenzi baletha iziqukathi zabo ezisebenza kabusha uma bedinga ukubuyisela ukudla emadeskini naseziteshini zabo.
Ukugcinwa komhlaba endaweni enkulu yamahektare angama-600 nakho sekube yindawo edle amapulasitiki amaningi, kuchaza uTroubetzkoy. Ukususwa kwemfucumfucu yemifino, izikhwama zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye manje sezithathelwe indawo yizikhwama ezisindayo ezisetshenziswa kabusha ekugcineni ezingaba ngumquba ekupheleni komjikelezo wabo wempilo.
"Umyalezo wangempela lapha ukuthi wonke umuntu unethuba lokubheka ukuthi angenza kanjani izinto ngendlela ehlukile," kusho uTroubetzkoy. “Okuhlangenwe nakho kwethu ukuthi ngentengo ephansi noma ngaphandle kwemali sikwazile ukuthola ezinye izindlela ezingasetshenziswa ekusetshenzisweni kwepulasitiki. Imihlomulo yokuqhamuka kube ukuhlanganyela kangcono kweqembu nokwelulwa kwezifundo ezitholwe lapha emiphakathini esizungezile, njengoba amalungu eqembu lethu eqala ukuprakthiza ekhaya ngalokho aseqalile ukukwenza emsebenzini. ”
Ekuqhubekeni kokugujwa koSuku Lomhlaba u-2018, u-Anse Chastanet kanye neJade Mountain bakhuthaza izivakashi zabo ukuthi zibambe iqhaza ezinhlelweni ezisebenzisanayo ezazi imvelo. Izihambeli zingatshala izihlahla zikakhokho emapulazini e-Emerald Farm, okuwumthombo wemikhiqizo eminingi yokudlela kanye nogqozi lwendlela yabo yokudlela etafuleni.
NgoSuku Lomhlaba, izivakashi zingabuye zijabulele i- "Low Carbon Dining Experience", esebenzisa izindlela zokupheka ezikhiqiza uketshezi okuncane kakhulu, njengokukhutshwa kolwandle, ukwelashwa kanye nokuzingelwa kwamanzi olwandle. Abapheki bazosebenzisa kuhhavini wezinkuni namalahle wamalahle ukuze banciphise indawo yezindawo zokungcebeleka. Izinketho zemenyu zifaka i-Emerald Farm Watermelon neJulie Mango Salad, i-Banana Leaf Mahi Mahi ne-Zucchini Carpaccio.
Abathandi beScuba bangabamba iqhaza ekuhlanzweni kwamanzi okuhlanza ngamanzi ngeziqondiso ezivela ezindaweni zokungcebeleka ezenziwa ezindaweni zokungcebeleka, iScuba St. Lucia, ngonyaka owedlule eyanqoba Umklomelo wePadi Green Star ngokuzibophezela kwayo ekongeni.

Izivakashi nazo zinethuba lokujoyina ukuntywila ukuzingela i- i-lionfish engenayo Izinhlobo zezilwane, ezingenazo izidalwa ezidla imvelo futhi ezaziwa ngokuthinta kakhulu imvelo kanye neminotho yendawo yokudoba. I-Scuba St. Lucia iphendule ikhwelo labalondolozi bemvelo besifunda sokulwa nalezi zinhlobo ngokwethula i-PADI "Invasive Lionfish Tracker Specialty Course", efundisa ababambiqhaza ngokulawula abantu abangenele nokuthi bangazibamba kanjani ngobunono lezi zinhlanzi. I-Anse Chastanet ne-Jade Mountain nazo zifaka i-lionfish eminikelweni yabo yokupheka, ukuyikhonza ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene - eyosiwe, isitshulu, njenge-sashimi, futhi njenge-citrus ceviche esongwe nge-crispy tortilla.
Phakathi kwezinto eziningi abazisebenzisayo, izindawo zokungcebeleka zisebenza ngefilosofi yokuphathwa kwamanzi "amanzi ayimpilo", efaka imikhiqizo yokuhlanza engeyona enobuthi, indawo yokuhlanza amanzi angcolile, kanye namanzi azimele ukugwema ukuthwesa umphakathi waseSoufrière.
I-Anse Chastanet neJade Mountain bahlala bethola ukuqashelwa ngezinhlelo zabo ezizinzile, ezisanda kuzuzwa Isitifiketi seTravelife Gold. Ngo-2016, iJade Mountain nayo yaba yihhotela lokuqala eCaribbean ukuthola ubuholi obuhlonishwayo ku-Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) isitifiketi segolide.
Mayelana no-Anse Chastanet
I-Anse Chastanet ihlelwe phakathi kwendawo enhle engamahektare angama-600 enamabhishi amabili enesihlabathi esithambile kanye nemibono emihle kakhulu yezintaba ezingamawele zaseSt.Lucia, iPitons, okuyisizinda segugu le-UNESCO. Phakathi kobuhle obushisayo beSt. Lucia, imisebenzi isukela ekushayeleni ibhayisikili lasehlathini, ukuhamba izintaba nokubuka izinyoni kuya ekubhukuleni ngesikebhe ngasolwandle emadwaleni ngaphakathi kwebanga lokubhukuda lolwandle. Indawo yokungcebeleka ethokozela imvelo, ewina imiklomelo iqukethe amakamelo angama-49 aklanywe ngawodwana, ama-37 awo athe chithi saka ngentaba eluhlaza, kanti ayi-12 ebekiwe engadini eshisayo ebangeni lolwandle. Amamenyu amasha - elinye lawo lingadli imifino kuphela - ahlinzekwa ezindaweni ezine ezihlukene futhi afaka umkhiqizo omusha osuselwa epulazini le-organic's resort. Izivakashi zingadla amakilasi asebenzisanayo wokwenza ushokoledi elabhorethri yoseshi wezindawo zokuvakasha futhi kunikezwa nezindawo ezahlukahlukene zamanzi.
