Green Hotelier of the Year: Eroline Lamontagne, Saint Lucia Going green is not just about the environment. It’s about people. It’s about culture. And in the travel industry, that means recognizing the role of a hotel in its community, about understanding the power of tourism to educate travelers and locals and to inspire. For years, Saint Lucia’s Eroline Lamontagne has been living that philosophy with the Fond Doux Plantation and Resort in Soufriere, a hotel totally immersed in its local environment and culture, set on a centuries-old working plantation, home to an organic spa and a fresh cacao. Lamontagne has turned this boutique hotel into a beacon for sustainable tourism in the Caribbean.
