Tropical Islands - Europe’s largest tropical holiday world Tropical Islands offers its guests “the best of the Tropics” and is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a short break or an extended holiday – without the need for a long plane journey. Here, Asia, the Pacific region, Africa and South America all come together under one roof with a temperature around pleasant 26 degrees Celsius. It is the ideal place to recharge batteries, relax and have a good time. The Tropical Islands Resort offers a wide range of comfortable accommodation. Open all year round, 24 hours a day, it is a unique holiday destination for families with or without children, and grown-ups of all ages, with weather that is always perfect. Tropical Islands is located in Brandenburg between Berlin and Dresden and it is situated in one of the largest self-supporting halls in the world. Tropical Islands has two main areas The Tropical World features a huge water world with fun and games for kids, the world’s largest indoor rainforest, a tropical village with authentic buildings, a shopping boulevard, a fitness club and comfortable accommodation in the dome’s 195 rooms and lodges or the many tents in the Rainforest and the Sunset Camp. The tropical Sauna and Spa Complex allows guests to relax and recharge their batteries, with extensive spa facilities covering an area of almost 10,000 square metres. I. Tropical World The Tropical Sea, the Lagoon, the world’s largest indoor rainforest, a tropical village and huge children’s play area; all this together makes the Tropical World. Overnight accommodation varies from rooms to lodges and tents. And that’s not all – there are also Germany’s highest water-slide, countless shops, restaurants and bars, not to mention the Wayang Plaza and the mini golf complex, which all provide entertainment for the guests. The Tropical Sea The Tropical Sea covers an area of 3,000 square metres, three times the size of an Olympic swimming pool, and has a constant water temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. The 200-metre-long sandy beach with its many sun lounges offers guests a unique experience. The warming sun shines through a UV-transparent film on the southern side of the dome, meaning guests can even get a natural suntan. Younger children love playing in the special kids’ paddling pool. The High-tech filters and permanent electronic monitoring ensure that the water is always of the highest quality. Tropical Islands meets the most stringent of hygiene standards. The Lagoon The 1,200 square metres Lagoon has a temperature of around 32 degrees Celsius. The counter-current, two water slides and whirlpools in the bays provide guests with everything they need for fun and relaxation. Where the Lagoon meets the rainforest, a grotto and a waterfall create a real jungle atmosphere. It is a unique experience to spend a night in one of the luxury rooms or lodges on the shores of the Lagoon. Made Wijaya (born Michael White) is the creator of this area. The native Australian travelled to Bali while he was studying architecture and has lived there ever since. He specializes in exotic gardens and has created over 600 (mainly tropical) gardens around the world. The world’s largest indoor rainforest The tropical vegetation in the world’s largest indoor rainforest consists of over 50,000 plants, bushes and different types of groundcover. Up to 600 different species of plants can be found at Tropical Islands, such as palms, ferns and mangroves. Most of those plants come from the Asia Pacific region and South America. The various different types of palm trees are particularly impressive, including the betel palm, Bismarck palm, fan palm and the giant fishtail palm with its fleshy fruits. The 20,000 square metre UV-transparent film on the south side of the dome lets in natural sunlight. This allows the plants to flourish, along with many varieties of fruit such as bananas, papayas, star fruit and jackfruit. A kilometre long path winds through the rainforest’s many natural wonders, with a bridge allowing visitors to cross the mangrove swamp. The swamp is home to many exotic species of fish such as guppies, mouth brooding cichlids, red tail and shark catfish, black pacus from the Amazon, Asian arowanas and archer fish. Most of the red and yellow-eared turtles can also be seen playing in the water, while ten flamingos have now found a new home on the edge of the swamp. Large, colourful Koi carps can be seen swimming in various ponds around the tropical village and the sauna complex. Many species of birds can also to be found amongst the trees and undergrowth, including parakeets, Chinese blue-breasted quail, golden and silver pheasants, canaries and zebra finches. At the Bali-House there are also two colourful macaws living. Landscape architects and designers from South America, Sri Lanka, Great Britain and Germany have worked together to ensure that the rainforest is as authentic as possible. Haruyoshi Ono was in overall charge of landscape planning. After the death of his business partner, Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994), Ono took over the running of their joint business (Burle Marx and Cia. Ltda.) in Rio de Janeiro. Robert Burle Marx was considered to be one of the most important landscaping architects of the 20th century and his work included the redesign of the Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro. Attractions in Tropical World Water slides Tropical Islands is home to Germany’s highest water slide tower. At 27 metres, it is the same height as a four-storey building. With four different slides there is something for everybody. The 76 metre power turbo slide, for example, allows the more adventurous to reach speeds of up to 70 kph, while the 149 metre giant water slide with its many twists and turns is great fun for both young and old. There is also a 21 metre long, wide undulating slide and the 112 metre long crazy river slide for inner tubes. The Tropino Club for Kids At Tropical Islands the kids have their very own play world, the “Tropino Club for Kids”. The play area covers 4,000 square metres and includes a Lego mountain made of soft Lego blocks, a pool for bumper boats, a huge climbing frame, a go-kart track and much more. The activities team ensures there are all sorts of fun things for the kids to do, from dancing at the kids disco, treasure hunts through the rainforest, face painting and fish feeding, etc. The adjacent Tropino restaurant offers a large selection of food and drinks for both children and adults.

Engels-Schwarzpaul An 1851 Punch cartoon of the London World Exhibition shows a “European rider Many thanks to Ross Jenner, with a spiked helmet” racing closely “behind the African elephant and next to Nina Corsten, Albert Refiti, Mark Jackson, Julia Gatley, Frances an American Indian” (Kaiser, n.d.). They waste no time on taking notice of each Edmond and the two blind other, but scramble furiously towards the finishing line. Meanwhile, contemporary reviewers for valuable comments debates nurtured pious hopes that intercultural encounters at the exhibition and criticism. would further mutual understanding and world peace. Likewise, Sigfried Giedion optimistically remarked of the Exhibition: “To take a turn about this place … is literally to travel around the world, for all nations have come here; enemies are coexisting in peace”(in Benjamin, 2002: 175-6). In 2006, a Tropical Village at the Tropical Islands Resort at Brand, 60km southeast of Berlin, features several houses from tropical regions, a Samoan Fale in their midst. Set on an oval, elevated platform, the Fale signals the South Seas’ eternal sun and balmy breezes. Its handcrafted Pandanus mats, carved posts, weaving and lashing details tell of an imaginary place where time moves at a different pace. As part of the €70 million themed resort, the Fale is sheltered under a 360 meter-long steel dome: indeed, an ex-CargoLifter hangar. Punch 20 (1851), p. 208. Both scenarios stage notions of progress, nostalgia and exoticism. In their creation of global public spaces, both combine labour and leisure in peculiar ways, so that Giedion observed enemies coexisting in peace, while the Tropical Village has been labelled a “One-World-Village” (Eine-Welt-Dorf).

  • A Fale Samoa at Tropical Islands Resort, Germany: Performing Samoa to the World
    A Fale Samoa at Tropical Islands Resort, Germany: Performing Samoa to the World Presented at the Samoa Conference II: Tracing Footprints of Tomorrow: Past lessons, present stories, future lives 4-8 July 2011 National University of Samoa, Apia, Samoa By A.-Chr (Tina) Engels-Schwarzpaul and Benita Simati Kumar Introduction: Performing Samoa in Germany1 Googling for an image of a fale Samoa (traditional Samoan house) in 2005, Albert Refiti stumbled across an aerial photo of the former CargoLifter hangar on the former Soviet military airbase, 60 kilometres southeast of Berlin. The roof looked at first like that of a gigantic fale afolau, but a closer investigation of the context revealed that the fale was actually inside it: the hangar houses the Tropical Islands Resort, where a fale Samoa forms part of a Tropical Village and where, from April to November 2005, “The Call of the South Seas” was the evening attraction. Further investigation of the Tropical Islands website raised interesting questions about the relationships between Samoan cultural forms and their iconic representation within globalised tourism and leisure environments. For instance, what was the involvement of Samoan professionals and communities? How do collaborations between Germans and Samoans pan out today, and how do they compare with the Samoan shows organized in nineteenth and twentieth century Germany?2 How do German visitors and local communities relate to the appearance of the fale Samoa and to the performers of “The Call of the South Seas” show?3 This is how our project “Tropical Islands – Virtual Worlds” began. Its goal was to assemble a range of perspectives on the history and context of this fale that would contribute to an 1 understanding of Pacific and global cultural exchange.

  • An Aquatic Park As a Strategy for Waterfront Developement
    GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2021 ISSN 2320-9186 385 GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2021, Online: ISSN 2320-9186 www.globalscientificjournal.com AN AQUATIC PARK AS A STRATEGY FOR WATERFRONT DEVELOPEMENT By BALOGUN, PROMISE JOSEPH Department of Architecture, Rivers State University Nkpolu Oroworukwo, Port –Harcourt. Abstract This paper identifies the importance of Aquatic parks as a strategy for the development of waterfront areas and the questions to address to ensure a successful waterfront development. The development of the areas at the waterfront has major importance enabling an appropriate insertion of human activities and agglomerations in an increasingly threatened and deteriorating environment. For cities located along a major waterfront – whether that's a lake, river, or ocean – figuring out how to best utilize that space without harming the environment can be a challenge. Many of the most popular activities, such as boating, can be highly polluting, and overdevelopment near the shore can cause problems with erosion, runoff, and contamination. Still, used correctly, waterfront property can be a key part of urban recreation space without contributing to these problems. However, in some cases, the implementation of these waterfront projects is driven more by investment needs than by community and environmental needs, with developers neither taking part nor contributing to the government goals of sustaining water and riversas assets for the country. Aquatic Park provides an opportunity for the development of economic growth within the waterfront area. However, the nature of sustainability assessment practice for aquatic Parks tends to be more focused on social and environmental aspects. Therefore, the aims of this paper are to investigate the relevant economic and sustainability assessment of Aquatic Parks.
