Acclaimed luxury beachfront resort, The Ritz-Carlton Bali is once again demonstrating its strong commitment to sustainability by observing Earth Hour on Saturday 24 March. Lights throughout the resort will be switched off and guests will be encouraged to join in special activities throughout the day.
"As part of the Community Footprints, social and environmental responsibility are at the core of The Ritz-Carlton, Bali. And by participating in Earth Hour and inviting our guests to join, we hope to truly honor this worthy global initiative and to inspire others to do the same," says The Ritz-Carlton Bali’s General Manager, Karim Tayach.
Guests at The Ritz-Calton, Bali, can start the day by attending morning prayers at the resort temple, and then join the Ladies and Gentlemen of the resort for a beach cleanup. During the appointed Earth Hour, which falls between 8.30pm – 9.30pm, lights will be turned off or dimmed through the resort, with candles providing a romantic and environmentally-friendly allure. Guests can join in a Meditation Under the Stars, an atmospheric Lantern Release and conclude with a bonfire on the beach. Flaming Cocktails offered in The Ritz-Carlton Lounge and Bar will add further dramatic flair to the evening. Beginning as a symbolic, lights out event in 2007, Earth Hour has grown into the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment, highlighting sustainability issues on our planet and the ways that individuals and companies can make a difference.
The Ritz-Carlton brand is famed worldwide for its commitment to extraordinary service, and this tradition extends to Community Footprints, a social and environmental responsibility program aimed at impacting the lives of others and making a meaningful difference. Guided by the principles Engage, Contribute and Inspire, The Ritz-Carlton resorts, residences and hotels worldwide will be participating in Earth Hour, and aligning themselves with the local communities they operate in.
