Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Celebrates Earth Hour

Radisson Blu Resort Fiji had an intimate celebration of Earth Hour this year by inviting in-house guests, three local Nadi schools and employees to join the special programme organized by the resort. Activities to mark the occasion included a countdown to earth hour followed by a candle lit ceremony, choir singing and entertainment by the school students, fire show and traditional Fijian activities inviting guests to participate.

On Saturday, 24th March all lights were switched off at the resort for Earth Hour and guests were encouraged to turn off all unnecessary lights in their accommodation room for the hour and join the celebration and candlelit dinners hosted throughout the evening. The Radisson Blu Resort Fiji are loyal supporters towards the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Earth Hour initiative and continues to join forces to combat climate change and reduce  environmental impact, also giving hotel guests and employees the opportunity to contribute to tackling climate action.

“Responsible business is an essential part of the Radisson Group of Hotels vision and this yearly event is celebrated for years through all 1,400 Radisson Blu Resorts Worldwide. Earth Hour is a positive cause that is part of the Radisson Blu Resort culture to help make a difference in the world, be a positive influence and raise awareness on climate change and the impact that it has on Fiji, the resort and the rest of the world,” says John Bendtsen, General Manager of the Radisson Blu Resort Fiji.

To be recognized as a responsible and innovative organization, the Radisson Blu Fiji has invested in having the largest roof mounted solar power system in Fiji which continues to provide the hotel with energy savings throughout the years. Other active measures such as water and waste management initiatives are practiced in the hotel, also ensuring certification by ‘EarthCheck Pty Ltd’ on a yearly basis to be recognized on an international level as a leader amongst sustainable tourism operators.
