This August, Anza, California, near San Diego, will become the home of SoCal's newest ecotourism hot spot as the Ramona Band (of the Cahuilla Indian Tribe) is slated to open the first 5 of 38 cabins in an off-grid retreat.
According to Hospitality Design, the project if jointly funded by the Ramona Band, the Dept. of Energy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and multiple other federal agencies, and will employ several alternative energy technologies to self sustain. The resort, in addition to providing lodging for leisure and corporate travelers, will serve as an educational experience that touches on Native American culture and naturally green lifestyle practices.
The apparently yet-to-be-named resort boasts a line-up of key green technologies, including: a solar-powered water treatment plant; windmill-powered wastewater treatment plant; bio-diesel plant; fuel cells; electric vehicles and LED lighting.
