The new Palazzo Versace hotel in Dubai wants to provide every luxury to its guests. The latest planned innovation is a refrigerated beach!
The hotel should open in late 2009 or early 2010. Link -Thanks, Chris Tackett!
The beach will have a network of pipes beneath the sand containing a coolant that will absorb heat from the surface.
The swimming pool will be refrigerated and there are also proposals to install giant blowers to waft a gentle breeze over the beach.
Versace's plans have shocked environmentalists. Rachel Noble, the campaigns officer at Tourism Concern, which promotes sustainable tourism, said that the carbon generated by such projects would contribute to climate change, whose worst effects would be felt by the poor.
“Dubai is like a bubble world where the things that are worrying the rest of the world, like climate change, are simply ignored so that people can continue their destructive lifestyles,” she said.

As far as us paying for it thru the buying of oil. Thats quite true but you can't blame them for our major use of oil. We are supposed to be so technologically advanced but yet we continue to rely on OIL to power our world. Instead of some other form of power.
who wants to god for a cool breeze on a beach. Cool breeze must be by a lake.
Ask them to create a lake.
