As
a guest of our hotel, you will be pleased to know that Bluebay
Beach Resort is committed to the preservation of the environment.
These are some of the ways in which we protecting our environment
for future generations.
We
employ reverse osmosis technology to purify underground
water in order to make it fit for human consumption. This reduces
the impact of the hotel on Zanzibar's fresh water resources.
We
have taken this one step further by also installing a wastewater
treatment plant which recycles all room, kitchen and laundry
wastewater. This in turn is used to maintain our beautiful tropical
gardens thus further reducing our impact on the islands water
supply.
The
lush tropical gardens have themselves been landscaped using
indigenous trees, plants, shrubs and ground cover in
order to attract the varied bird species of the island as well
as to provide an insight to visitors of the diverse tropical
vegetation on Zanzibar.
All
guestrooms have been equipped with modern energy saving devices
and all electrical installations employ the latest in energy
efficient technology. All refrigerators and air conditioners
also comply with the latest regulations concerning the
use of CFC's and other ozone harmful gases.
Garbage
is separated at source and what cannot be disposed of in
an appropriate manner on the island is incinerated in a purpose-designed
incinerator on the hotel premises. The resultant ashes are used
to fertilise the hotels lush grounds.
We
have even taken a great deal of trouble to protect our environment
from noise pollution by installing our standby generator
in a soundproof structure which emits less than 70 dBa at 1
meter.
Bluebay
Beach Resort has been officially recognised and commended by
the Government of Zanzibar for its outstanding contribution
to the preservation of the environment of the island.
