Sustainable Hospitality & Wellness is of paramount importance on Landgoed Groot Mariënbosch in Surinam. Other elements within our `Papatya` concept are also vital such as sustainable: forestry, aqua culture, agri culture, cattle breeding, education, energy. Above all we have chosen for quality. For that reason we have selected a group of experts in different disciplines. Names given based on "shuffle replay": ing. Deryck Ferrier (community development, forestry, agri & aqua culture), ir. Philip Dikland (historical research & architecture), drs. Pieter Teunissen (nature conservation, agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery, forestry), ir. Dirk Noordam (soil science, agriculture, animal husbandry), Saoed Abdoelrahman (community development, operations, logistics), mr. Albert Soedamah (legal affairs, agri culture), Johan van Toll (IT and video communications), Sirano Toscanni Zalman (Surinam culture, indigenous affairs, ecology, travel & lodging), Femke Loning (shipping & catering), ing. Marcel Meijer (land & water management), drs. Marcel Persad (finance & aqua culture), ir. Reshmi Oemrawsingh (ecology, landscaping & architecture), ir. Aimée de Back (architecture), Rob de Jong & Patrick Teunissen (sustainable catering & lodging), Claire Antonius (sustainable conferencing & lodging), Marie-Claire Aarts (wellness & spa). Within this still growing group a smaller Surinam Think Tank has been elected, directed by drs. Marije van Zomeren of 100% Zomer bv and in Surinam coordinated by drs. Marcel Persad. Marije and I already met so many people, involved in these matters, on so many places in Surinam and in The Netherlands . Further interested ?
