“Earth Hour is more than just a turning off of lights for one hour; it is a commitment to change beyond the hour; it symbolizes our collective pledge to live more sustainably and acknowledge our responsibility to our planet.”

Committed to its promise

Best Western Plus The Ivywall Resort has reinforced its dedication to sustainability by actively minimizing ecological footprints, supporting local communities, and preserving Bohol’s natural beauty. This commitment was underscored as General Manager Doer Escoto led the ceremonial lights-off event. Notably, as the official residence of the Bohol Loop 2024, the resort welcomed Philippine Motorcycle Tourism Ambassadress and Moto Vlogger Jet Lee, among other key figures, who also pledged their support to Earth Hour and the planet. This cohesive involvement of stakeholders highlights the resort’s holistic approach to environmental stewardship and community engagement.

 

The property urged its guests and partners to reflect on the impact on our planet and the steps we can take to make a difference. In his welcome speech, Escoto added, “Let this hour of darkness illuminate the path to a brighter, more sustainable future. Let us carry the spirit of Earth Hour with us every day; in every decision we make, big or small, let us make every hour an Earth hour.”

Leaving a Green Mark

The night was more than just a simple lights-off event; it was a memorable evening for resort guests and walk-in diners as they departed the island. While indulging in the buffet of international cuisine, sourced from the province itself and specially crafted by Chef Archie’s team, guests also enjoyed the flavorful tunes of Jam 403 as they serenaded the Earth Hour. Leaving a lasting impression and urging commitment to greener deeds moving forward.
