In the hotel’s Earth Hour Campaign message to hotel guests, the General Manager of Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu- Mr.Hafizan Wong encouraged all to commit to action that go beyond the hour by taking part in several related activities to promote energy conservation and help reduce the effects of global warming. Such activities include taking a reusable bag for shopping; getting friends to take part in Earth Hour; plant a tree or simply turn off lights in empty rooms as sharing responsibility holds the key to fighting climate change.
Wong was also quoted as saying that it is the Hotel’s aspiration to be able to assist in increasing awareness on the various services and products available to blind and vision impaired people through Sabah Society for the Blind. Hence, encouraged all to support the upcoming Foot Reflexology in The Dark.
