March 23, 2024 ( Xiamen, China ) - Marco Polo Xiamen has responded to the call for Earth Hour by participating in the global 60-minute event, whereby the hotel will dim the lights in the public areas of the hotel from 20:30 to 21:30 hours. The bed sheets, cloth covers and other fabrics in the guest rooms will not be replaced on that day (except at the special request of the customer), to save energy and reduce emissions, in order to show support for the "Earth Hour" environmental protection activities. At the same time, the Lobby Terrace specially launched "Earth Hour" themed drinks, which were deeply loved by the guests with their unique shapes.
Earth Hour is a global energy-saving initiative by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in response to global climate change, which encourages individuals, communities, businesses and governments to turn off unnecessary lighting and power-consuming products for one hour at 20:30 local time on the last Saturday of March each year to show their concern for nature conservation and support for the environment.
