Learning Event on Responsible, Sustainable TOURISM In Latin America and the Caribbean World Bank, Washington D.C. - April 14-15, 2008 energy for people, energy for enterprise, energy for life The Need for CERCA The Catch-22 in development: It’s hard to develop where there isn’t development A sustained effort at building up basic capacities and services is required to build a foundation upon which economic development, like eco-tourism, can happen The Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua does not yet have the facilities to attract the kind of professionals needed for this sustained effort… Centro Ecologico Regional de Capacitacion Ambiental (CERCA)

Learning Event on Responsible, Sustainable TOURISM In Latin America and the Caribbean World Bank, Washington D.C. - April 14-15, 2008 energy for people, energy for enterprise, energy for life Eco-tourism Landscape Differentiation between: - “Mainstream” eco tourism -> Greening of operations, organic food, natural landscapes, primarily private experience - “Extreme” eco-tourism -> Remote locations, participatory experience, integration into the ecology of the location Varied clientele: - Low budget, adventurous looking for authentic cultural experience - Medium to high budget looking for an “executive escape”, high sense of adventure, looking for green experience - Academic, Nongovernmental, and Governmental institutions

Learning Event on Responsible, Sustainable TOURISM In Latin America and the Caribbean World Bank, Washington D.C. - April 14-15, 2008 energy for people, energy for enterprise, energy for life Infrastructure Issues With Remote Eco-tourism Light… Water… Refrigeration… Communication… Health Services… … all require energy service! Transportation

Learning Event on Responsible, Sustainable TOURISM In Latin America and the Caribbean World Bank, Washington D.C. - April 14-15, 2008 energy for people, energy for enterprise, energy for life Examples of Failures “Build and leave” doesn’t work in remote places. Development of infrastructure and services must be accompanied by long-term support for operations and maintenance. The alternative… Need CERCA center for long-term capacity building and management training

Learning Event on Responsible, Sustainable TOURISM In Latin America and the Caribbean World Bank, Washington D.C. - April 14-15, 2008 energy for people, energy for enterprise, energy for life Case Study: Monkey Point Isolated community on Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, ~ 60 km south of Bluefields Predominantly Creole community with some Indigenous and Mestizo residents Access by water only (some jungle land routes do exist, but no roads) Unrivaled natural beauty Community threatened by Dry Canal Project (Nicaragua/Venezuela/Iran) Looking to develop local tourism as an alternative… effort in very early stages -> Pito Eco Lodge

Learning Event on Responsible, Sustainable TOURISM In Latin America and the Caribbean World Bank, Washington D.C. - April 14-15, 2008 energy for people, energy for enterprise, energy for life Monkey Point: Approach and Challenges The community currently has no means of refrigeration; blueEnergy is exploring a project to study the use of its energy system for ice making Monkey Point has a communication radio that allows it to communicate to surrounding communities and to Bluefields; the radio was installed in June 2007 and is powered by blueEnergy’s energy system Currently there are no permanent health services available Transportation from Bluefields by water only; boat ride can be rough blueEnergy has been involved in community since 2006, completing its first energy system installation in June 2007 Has fresh water source, but needs verification of cleanliness and distribution to end-use locations; blueEnergy has feasibility project for this purpose in 2008
