Connect2Earth: Hotels in Sanya go green for Earth Hour 2019

On March 30th, 2019, individuals, businesses and cities in 188 countries and territories worldwide joined Earth Hour 2019 to speak up for nature and inspire urgent action for the environment. #EarthHour, #Connect2Earth and related hashtags trended in 26 countries as people across the globe generated over 2 billion impressions to show their concern for nature.

In an effort to take greater collective action to promote environmental sustainability, luxury hotels in Sanya continued to play an active role in the annual Earth Hour on March 30th, 2019. Together with hotels and businesses around the world, Sanya hotels set aside an hour to host events and switched off their lights to do their part to help save the environment for future generations.

Here is a rundown of what some hotels across Sanya did to mark Earth Hour 2019:
