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.
