Emir Hotels took a remarkable step this year within the framework of Earth Hour by once again demonstrating its commitment to environmental sustainability and energy saving with World For Us, which carries out its sustainability activities and has made a great impact on the tourism community. This special event, organized to reduce energy consumption and increase environmental awareness worldwide, was held on March 30, 2024.
As part of the event, Emir Hotels saved energy by turning off all lights for one hour. This practice, which began at 8:30 p.m., was implemented in all parts of the hotel. Turning off the lights in the lobby, restaurants, rooms and other public areas received great interest and support from both guests and hotel staff.
The event, organized as part of this year's Earth Hour theme of "Investing in the Future through Energy Saving," revealed Emir Hotels' sustainability goals and environmental awareness. Hotel guests had the opportunity to observe the stars in this special time zone and reconsidered the importance of energy saving. Throughout the event, participants were informed about how energy savings can be implemented in their daily lives.
Gizem Demirci, Member of the Board of Directors of Emir Hotels, said of the event: "Earth Hour is not only an important part of saving energy but also of creating global awareness of environmental issues. We were very pleased to see that both our guests and our employees showed great empathy during this one-hour action. With such events, we will continue to advance our sustainability efforts."
This important event organized by Emir Hotels once again reaffirmed its commitment to supporting its environmental responsibility and sustainability goals. Aiming to increase environmental awareness through similar events in the coming years, Emir Hotels will continue its efforts in energy saving and sustainability.
Emir Hotels would like to thank all guests and employees for the interest and support shown towards this special event. We continue to believe in Earth Hour's contribution to raising environmental awareness.
