What’s The Future Of Sustainability In Tourism? Here’s Anguilla’s Answer
25.05.2024 - 12:37 / forbes.com
Endless rows of solar panels. Hydroponic farms. A massive reverse osmosis plant.
Ask the people who run Anguilla's resorts about the future of sustainability, and that's their answer. At forward-looking properties such as Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club and Zemi Beach House, owners are trying to build a greener future.
But there's one more thing that this Caribbean island has that could keep it sustainable for generations to come. And it's the last thing anyone would expect.
Anguilla is a small Caribbean island known for its Technicolor reefs and serene beaches with sand the texture of powdered sugar. Part of its appeal is that it's remote. Most visitors fly from North America to St. Martin and then take a half-hour ferry ride to Anguilla. U.S. airlines have recently added more direct service to the island.
Like many other Caribbean destinations, Anguilla has struggled with sustainability. The previous government promised to do away with plastic bags and styrofoam by 2020, but it's been easier said than done. Today you can still get plastic bags at the island's small grocery stores.
Anguilla is not alone. The entire region has charted an uneven path toward sustainability. The interests of commerce are often in conflict with conservation. And unless residents and visitors see a reason to transition to more sustainable energy and recycling, the struggle is likely to continue.
But there is hope. There are nonprofit organizations working quietly to save the fragile Caribbean environment. Many hotels have found that even when the destination is moving slowly, they don't have to. There are financial reasons for accelerating the pace toward sustainability, but ultimately, it also motivates the destination as a whole — and perhaps even the people who come there to visit. No matter where you go in the Caribbean, tourists hold the key to sustainability.
This is the final article in an eight-part series about sustainable tourism in Central America and the Caribbean. Here's part one about sustainability in Panama, part two about saving Bonaire's number one tourist attraction, part three about Aruba’s struggles to stay sustainable, part four about Curaçao’s conservation efforts, part five about Grenada’s attempt to go green, part six about how Barbados is trying to save its environment, and part seven about sustainability in Antigua.
At the Zemi Beach House, a luxury hotel in the northeastern part of Anguilla, multiple sustainability efforts are underway.
On a recent tour of the property, maintenance workers were removing single-use soaps and lotions, and replacing them with refillable bottles. Paulo Paias, general manager of the resort, says it's the most visible part of the hotel's sustainability program. But

When Is the Best Time to Visit Paris?
The question of when is the best time to visit Paris was answered by Audrey Hepburn in the 1963 classic Sabrina: “Paris is always a good idea.” A spring stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg, a summer evening along the Canal Saint-Martin, a fall morning whiled away sur la terrasse avec un café, twinkling holiday markets in the winter—it all sounds so fabulous that one single trip can’t cover it all. But if you’re someone who strategizes around attending (or avoiding) big events in the French capital, or would like to cash in on prime deals for hotels and flights, there is of course a slight science to it all.
I've been to 20 Caribbean islands. Here are 7 mistakes first-time visitors should avoid making.
The Caribbean is the perfect vacation destination for those looking for warm weather, endless beaches, and exciting activities on and off the water. From nightlife and water sports to great food and historical attractions, the Caribbean has something for everyone.
I spent my first night in Panama at a hotel in the heart of the historic district. The stay made me fall in love with the country in less than 24 hours.
A bellhop opened the door to the Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo, and I was transported out of Panama City's humidity and into a chilly hotel lobby brimming with excitement.
