Bangkok--29 Mar--Millennium Hilton Bangkok
Millennium Hilton Bangkok today announced that it will be joining 16 other Hilton hotels in the Asian region in committing to the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) Earth Hour initiative this March.
WWF Earth Hour is a global initiative which hopes to eventually reach out to more than one billion people, asking individuals, businesses and Governments to switch off their lights for just one hour on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 8:30pm, Bangkok time. This symbolic gesture is designed to highlight the importance of action on climate change.
To support this important initiative, Millennium Hilton Bangkok has developed a series of activities to provide a wonderful opportunity for engagement between guests and hotel team member on March 27 such as:
Candle light dinners in the restaurants including an outdoor rooftop picnic by candlelight
Candle light spa experiences
Reducing lighting for hotel exterior
Reducing air conditioning for certain hotel areas
Encourage our guests to turn off lighting in their rooms
Inspiring all team members to be part of this project individually at their home
Hilton is committed to constantly working to improve its environmental performance and was one of the founding members of the International Tourism Partnership (www.tourismpartnership.org). This organization is designed to bring together leaders of some of the largest travel and tourism companies to work through collective, industry-wide action at local, destination and country level to encourage real progress towards a more sustainable hotel, travel and tourism industry.
