Drugačija turistička atrakcija

Objavljeno u Zanimljivosti

U utorak, 16.07., Ultra festival “spustio” se na Hvar, čiji su se stanovnici, koji se s time već dugo pate, pripremili na taj događaj. U središtu otoka istovremeno se odvijala atrakcija suprotna gore spomenutoj, a koja bi mogla pokazati put očuvanju mirnog turizma na otoku.

Katolička misa na poljskom jeziku vjerojatno je antiteza neobuzdanih budalaština uzrokovanih alkoholom i drogama velikog broja hvarskih party turista, lokalno zvanih “partijaneri”. Umjereniji stanovnici Hvara dugo se bore protiv ljetnog priljeva nesputanih gostiju navodeći među svojim pritužbama neprihvatljivu zbrku i buku te nepristojno odijevanje i ponašanje.

Događaj Ultra Europe koji se tri dana i noći održavao u Splitu u “Parku mladeži”, od 14.-17.07.2019., neki su proglasili uspjehom s vrlo malo incidenata te je hvaljen i dočekan raširenih ruku od strane političara i direktora turističkih zajednica. Ipak, druga strana medalje također je privukao pažnju hrvatskih medija. Javna mjesta oskvrnuta razuzdanim ponašanjem uzrokovanog drogama i alkoholom, mokrenje i pražnjenje čak i prije početka festivala (Slobodna Dalmacija, 12.07.2019.); grozan nered u Splitu nakon prvog dana Ultre (IndexHR, 13.07.2019); te droga koja je, činilo se, partijanerima bila glavna potpora tijekom splitskog dijela festivala (Slobodna Dalmacija 15.07.2019.). Događaj svakako privlači veliki broj posjetitelja (Slobodna Dalmacija 13.07.2019.) ali koliko (ako uopće) ustvari koristi donosi  jednom gradu, čije je središte na UNESCO-vom popisu svjetske baštine, vrlo je upitno.

Dalmatinski turizam tradicionalno se bazira na vrlo toplom gostoprimstvu i dugotrajnim prijateljstvima koja njeguju privatni iznajmljivači i njihovi gosti. Teškoće koje je stvorio Domovinski rat (1991.-95.) uzrokovao je raskid ovih odnosa. Dok su se neki stalni gosti nakon rata vratili, mnogi nisu. Mnogo se toga promijenilo od tada, a dalmatinski turizam iz potrebe se razvio u drugom smjeru koja uključuje ponudu glazbenih festivala velikih razmjera čija su ciljna skupina mlađi odrasli ljudi. Dalmacija ima nevjerojatno širok opseg turističkih atrakcija i njezino ekonomsko blagostanje ovisi o turizmu. Čak je možda iznenađujuće koliko se malo reklamira upravo strancima. Stoga je misa na poljskom jeziku dobar, i vrlo dobrodošao, početak.

Nadahnuta je to zamisao Don Roberta Bartošeka koji će voditi misu, svake nedjelje u 12:15, tijekom srpnja i kolovoza u župnoj crkvi u Vrisniku. Sve zasluge njemu jer on i njegovi kolege pod velikim su pritiskom na poslu zbog nedostatka svećenika na otoku - što zbog preseljenja, što zbog bolesti i umirovljenja. Don Roberta su lani doveli za župnika Pitava i Vrisnika. Vrlo se brzo smjestio i stekao poštovanje svojih župljana zbog svoje sposobnosti da se uklopi u lokalne običaje. Isto tako, uveo je neke šarmantne običaje iz svoje rodne države među kojima se posebno isticala podjela sitnih poklona lokalnoj djeci od strane uskršnjeg zeca nakon mise na Uskrs.

Don Robertove dužnosti odnedavno su proširene stoga je njegova predanost još vrijednija poštovanja. Poljski stanovnici i posjetitelji otoka Hvara oduševljeno su se odazvali, njih nekih 54 prisustvovalo je svojoj prvoj posebnoj misi, zatim preko 100 vjernika je došlo par tjedana kasnije; kad su došli oko 150 vjernika, nisu svi mogli stati u crkvi! Vjerojatno to i nije iznenađujuće obzirom da je Poljska vrlo katolička država, isto tako i vrlo bliska zajednica, a don Robert je neumoran u svojoj pastoralnoj brizi za svoje zemljake kojima je potrebna pomoć.

Na taj način je, tiho i diskretno, novi element  dodan hvarskim turističkim atrakcijama - malen ali vrijedan. Jedan koji pokazuje posebnu vrstu brige i obzira spram grupe otočkih posjetitelja. Don Robertov sastanak s otokom trebao je biti privremen, samo godinu dana. Nadajmo se da će se njegov ostanak produljiti, a isto tako da će njegova inicijativa pružanja duhovne potpore svojim zemljacima postati dugotrajna tradicija - a možda se realiziraju “mise za turiste” i na drugim jezicima?

  • The fight for Hope Moor is set to be repeated across the UK as the government aims to hit its renewable energy targets

    Instead of a slingshot, the Davids are brandishing a sculpture and a coffee table book. Their Goliaths are a Norwegian energy company and a UK energy secretary with renewable targets to meet.

    A fierce battle has begun over one of England’s tallest windfarms, proposed for deep peat moorland overlooking the Yorkshire Dales national park, in what residents say will mark the irrevocable industrialisation of their rural landscape.

  • Images confirm xAI is continuing to defy EPA regulations in Mississippi to power its flagship datacenters

    Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is continuing to fuel its datacenters with unpermitted gas turbines, an investigation by the Floodlight newsroom shows. Thermal footage captured by Floodlight via drone shows xAI is still burning gas at a facility in Southaven, Mississippi, despite a recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ruling reiterating that doing so requires a state permit in advance.

    State regulators in Mississippi maintain that since the turbines are parked on tractor trailers, they don’t require permits. However, the EPA has long maintained that such pollution sources require permits under the Clean Air Act.

  • Project in Ceredigion aims to help country catch up with large-scale nature recovery projects elsewhere in UK

    A Welsh charity has bought more than 480 hectares (1,195 acres) in Ceredigion to establish Cymru’s “flagship” rewilding project, helping the country catch up with large-scale nature recovery projects under way elsewhere in the UK.

    Tir Natur (Nature’s Land), founded in 2022, announced it had acquired the site at Cwm Doethie in Elenydd, or the Cambrian mountains, after a fundraising drive launched last year raised 50% of the £2.2m purchase price. A philanthropic bridging loan enabled the sale.

  • Exclusive: High levels of banned ‘forever chemical’ have been detected in rivers and groundwater at 25 sites

    A string of toxic pollution hotspots has been uncovered across Cumbria and Lancashire, with high levels of the banned cancer-causing “forever chemical” Pfos detected in rivers and groundwater at 25 sites.

    The contamination, spread across a large area, was uncovered by Watershed Investigations and the Guardian after a freedom of information request revealed high concentrations of Pfos in Environment Agency samples taken in January 2025.

  • Senators said repeal was ‘particularly troubling’ and was counter to EPA’s mandate to protect human health

    More than three dozen Democratic senators have begun an independent inquiry into the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) following a huge change in how the agency measures the health benefits of reducing air pollution that is widely seen as a major setback to US efforts to combat the climate crisis.

    In a regulatory impact analysis, the EPA said it would stop assigning a monetary value to the health benefits associated with regulations on fine particulate matter and ozone. The agency argued that the estimates contain too much uncertainty.

  • Cardiff: It steals light, it discourages growth at its base, and it blocks what was once a panoramic view. How do I make peace with it?

    It goes against the grain for me to hate a plant, but I’ve been resenting a certain Leyland cypress for a long time. Planted by a neighbour in the 1970s to give the house we overlook privacy, it now blocks part of our panoramic view over Cardiff. When we moved in 12 years ago, I was able to lie down in bed and see only sky. In that time the solitary tree has grown four metres and now looms over my sleep. Crows, robins, pigeons and green woodpeckers use it as a lookout over the city. Magpies have attempted (unsuccessfully) to build a nest in it. Polite requests to the owner have been ignored.

    Hesperotropsis leylandii is an accidental hybrid of Cupressus macrocarpa and Callitropsis nootkatensis. First noticed in 1888 in Leighton Hall near Welshpool, it was exploited commercially as a cheap, fast-growing screen. Leylandii hedges are light-stealers, tolerant of pollution and notorious for discouraging growth around their base. They often generate disputes between neighbours (including one murder). One person was convicted of criminal damage for urinating on an offending plant. So far I have resisted this, and another suggestion that I knock copper nails into its trunk.

  • Choice could prove difficult for Thames Water, which is trying to push through a water recycling scheme nearby

    The first designated bathing water area on the River Thames in London has been shortlisted as one of 13 new monitored swimming areas across the country.

    The Thames at Ham, in south-west London, was shortlisted as a new river bathing water after campaigners gathered evidence to show thousands of people use the river for swimming throughout the year.

  • Some districts are adding programs in clean energy and sustainability, while one state is infusing environmental lessons into culinary education and construction

    On one end of the classroom, high school juniors examined little green sprouts – future baby carrots, sprigs of romaine lettuce – poking out of the soil of a drip irrigation system they built a few weeks prior.

    On the opposite end of the room, a model of a hydropower plant showed students how the movement of water can stimulate electrical currents. In this class in South Carolina’s Greenville county school district, students primarily learn about one topic: renewable energy.

  • Wild gardening is about shedding obsessions with tidiness, embracing a looser aesthetic and providing a home for ‘the most important creatures on the planet’

    On a wintry January day in Manchester, I crossed University Green, navigating a paved path behind our hotel through lush patches of lawn. It was the start of the inaugural “Wilding Gardens” conference. For two days, scientists and practitioners were gathering to discuss new ways to think about gardens and nature, about what nature needs to thrive, and the untapped potential of gardens – if we step back and allow ecological processes to unfold – to help counter climate change and biodiversity loss.

    Clumps of snowdrop flowers poked through the unmown grass and a grey squirrel streaked across it, from one bare-branched tree to another. Probably common alders, going by the University of Manchester Tree Trail. The world’s first industrial city seemed an apt venue for a talkfest on the urgency of rewilding suburban gardens to help save the planet from precisely what drew Marx and Engels there to study, 180 years ago: the impacts of industrialisation.

  • Vanessa Napaltjari Davis puts $70 a week on her prepaid electricity card – but as Alice Springs swelters through ever-hotter summers, that credit lasts less than three days

    Since the start of summer, Vanessa Napaltjari Davis and her grandchildren have sweltered in their two-bedroom home. Temperatures in the southern half of the Northern Territory have been well above average and the electricity running their single air-conditioner has been regularly disconnected.

    “We almost had 40 days over 40,” she says. “I was struggling to keep on top of the power bill and keep my little grannies [grandchildren] cool.”
