The Earth Hour Cyprus Team, in collaboration with the Cyprus Sustainable Tourism Initiative (CSTI), is calling on the tourism industry to take part in this year’s Earth Hour, as part of the “Lights Off, Impact On: Earth Hour for Sustainable Tourism” campaign.
Hotels and tourism stakeholders across Cyprus are invited to switch off their lights on March 22 from 8.30-9.30pm, joining millions worldwide in a powerful statement for environmental protection.
“We are thrilled to join forces with CSTI to extend Earth Hour’s impact within the tourism industry,” said Alexia Sakadaki, Coordinator of Earth Hour in Cyprus.
“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to a more sustainable future, and we welcome the participation of hotels and tourism businesses across the country in this meaningful initiative,” she added. “This is a great opportunity for Cyprus to lead by example in sustainable tourism. We encourage all stakeholders to take part and demonstrate their dedication to environmental responsibility.”
For his part, Philippos Drousiotis, Chairman of CSTI, also emphasised the connection between tourism, sustainability and responsibility towards the climate.
“Building on the success of last year’s ‘Tourism Cares’ campaign, which engaged nearly 60 hotels, this initiative highlights the vital role of the tourism sector in promoting sustainability and climate action,” he noted. “This initiative is yet another opportunity for the island’s tourism sector to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability in a tangible way.”
