Today, Oscar (the sustainability coordinator at the Harmony Hotel in Nosara) and I went to go visit the Hotel Punta Islita (located at the very tip of the Nicoya Peninsula). The Hotel Punta Islita (www.hotelpuntaislita) has done an amazing job in working with local communities surrounding the property; we were especially impressed with how they promoted art in these communities.
This visit has definitely inspired us. We at Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality focus on the following areas in our work with the surrounding community:
Nature
Building Green and Sustainable Communities
Health
Education
Culture
And while we have done a great deal of work in supporting local dance and music, this visit to Punta Islita has definitely reminded us of the importance of supporting the visual arts as well. If anyone knows of any organizations or NGOs that are working in promoting art in rural communities, please send me an email at: millay@cayugaonline.com.
