Press Releases »

          Hilton Pattaya will be celebrating Earth Hour 2016 from 8.30pm – 9.30 pm local time on Saturday, March 19th. The hotel will join thousands of Hilton Worldwide's more than 4,600 properties across 102 countries in switching off energy and shining a light on climate change by hosting various Earth Hour activities for Team Members, franchised employees and guests to take part in reducing energy use and preserving the environment. This year, Hilton Worldwide is expanding environmental celebrations to the full month of March, reinforcing the company's commitment to addressing climate change and driving an even larger impact.
          "Earth Hour is one of the many ways we show our commitment to energy conservation while delivering great guest experiences. We are encouraging our guests, neighbors and team members to join us in support of this global effort," said Rudolf Troestler, General Manager "To kick off Earth Hour, we arranged the 3rd Staircase Race Earth Hour run to raise awareness of Earth Hour among the team member on March 16. And on the Earth Hour day, we switched off all spotlights illuminating the hotel building during the hour and beyond hour as well as Light candles to form the numbers "60+" at Lobby on level 16. Moreover, guest also experienced dining by candlelight on our rooftop restaurant & bar."
As part of its commitment to preserving the environment, Hilton Pattaya has in place a weekly program in its team member dining area to instill awareness and drive action around food waste reduction. In line with Hilton Worldwide's global commitment, Hilton Pattaya has also banned the serving of shark fin in its restaurants and F&B facilities managed by the hotel.
          Hilton Pattaya will celebrate Earth Hour through the following activities:
          • Staircase race Earth Hour kick off run on March 16, to raise awareness of Earth Hour
          • Countdown to Earth Hour and the cutting off of electricity from 8.30 p.m. onwards
          • Light candles to form the numbers "60+" at Lobby on level 16
          • Candlelight dinners experience on the rooftop restaurant & Bar, Horizon
          • Completely turn off lighting on all unoccupied floors
          • Switched off all spotlights illuminating the hotel building during the hour and beyond hour
          Created by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Earth Hour began in 2007 as a way for individuals and businesses to show how simple steps can make a significant impact on addressing climate change.           
          The idea was conceived during a WWF meeting held at the Hilton Sydney, Australia. In its first year, more than two million people turned off their lights for an hour and reduced the city's energy consumption by more than 10 percent. It became a global movement in 2008 with more than 50 million people participating, and today it is the largest grassroots environmental movement in the world with more than 7,000 cities and towns in 172 countries and territories and hundreds of millions of people participating across seven continents. In 2015, over 620,000 actions were taken to combat climate change during Earth Hour.

          Hilton Worldwide is committed to Preserving Environments, one of the three pillars of the company's responsibility and sustainability strategy, Travel with Purpose. Hilton is one of the first major multi-brand hospitality companies to make sustainability measurement and reporting a brand standard. LightStay, Hilton Worldwide's proprietary measurement platform, is used to measure, analyze and report on global data to drive greater efficiencies, savings and value for hotels and communities around the world. Hotels are able to record their efforts including Earth Hour activities and other environmental and social initiatives into the measurement platform. Hilton is also the first global hospitality company to be ISO 50001 certified - of the more than 11,500 facilities worldwide that are ISO 50001 certified, more than 4,600 of those buildings are in the Hilton portfolio.
