Green Globe today announced recertification of Sea-U Guest House, Tent
Bay, Bathsheba. Located on the rugged east coast of Barbados, surrounded
by green hills, natural beaches, tidal pools, and small villages, Sea-U
Guest House is committed to preserving nature and invites their guests
to be a part of their Green Team.
Green Globe Certification CEO Mr. Guido Bauer said: “Sea-U Guest House
is a perfect example of collaboration and innovation between the guest
house owner, expatriate Miss Uschi Wetzels, and the local community from
Tent Bay. “Together they deliver an authentic and quality holiday
experience which leads as an example of good environmental practice and
social engagement for all Barbadian tourism operators,” added Mr. Bauer.
Sea-U Guest House rests near the natural, unspoiled beaches of Bathsheba
and is close to one of the finest surf spots in Barbados, Soup Bowl.
The guest house is also within walking distance from the renowned
Andromeda Botanic Gardens.
Sea-U Guest House owner, Miss Uschi Wetzels, said: “Since our original
certification, we have achieved so much, and we are very pleased to
receive the Green Globe certification once again. Born and raised in
Germany, I learnt early about ‘being green.’ Here in Barbados, it is a
relatively new idea to pay close attention to environmental issues. As
an example, a couple of years ago, I had to insist that cleaning
products, not hazardous to us or the environment, must be used instead
of the chlorine-based ones that were in use all over the island.
“Today it is in ‘everybody’s blood’ as we say in Germany, to be
environmentally conscious in all of our daily activities at the guest
house. Today, members of our staff come up with their own ideas on how
to advance our green practice, while maintaining high standards. One of
our interesting innovations was to replace common drinking straws with
home grown bamboo straws to serve our house drink, coconut water in its
own shell,” added Miss Wetzels.
