Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
Located along the coastline and at the outskirts of Saadani National Park, the Beach Crab Resort is committed to minimising its impact on the natural environment. The resort uses solar power for water heating and provides fishermen with education programmes about how to help to protect reefs.
Beach Crab Resort is committed to supporting the development of the local community. The resort only uses local materials for buildings, which are sourced from surrounding villages. No tree or bush has been cut for building, the resort arranges for timber to be taken from around and between existing plants. The salvage forest product is used by villagers to build furniture which has in turn bought by the resort.
An advances plan of the hotel is to build up a "training centre" open for every villager as there are no schools here for vocational hotel jobs such as cooks and bartenders, through to health education, computer training and English courses. The training centre will be run from the income of the hotel to give the young people of the area a chance in the future.and also supports the local economy.
