A STRATEGIC hotel in the northern tourism circuit over the weekend marked the earth hour 2023 by rolling out a tree planting drive along the Themi River in Arusha city as part of its efforts to mitigate the impact of climate change.

The Four Points by Sheraton Arusha, The Arusha Hotel, also switched off its lights for an hour to create awareness about a global movement marked each year on March 25, dubbed Earth Hour 2023.

This year’s theme, ‘Invest in Our Planet’, highlights the importance of dedicating our time, resources, and energy to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Hotel general manager, Krishna Suri said the idea behind the plantation initiative and turning off the lights was aimed to raise awareness and mitigate the effects of climate change both in urban and rural ecosystems through improved ecosystem management.

“Tree plantation is an effective way to curb the effects of climate change as they benefit the ecosystem in multiple manners and is a great way to invest back into the planet,” Suri noted.

He said given the socio–economic effects of climate change, all organizations should come together to mitigate this, by investing in green initiatives.

“As the pioneer corporate hotel, we would like to do our part of investing in our planet. We believe that trees are one of the most powerful tools to combat the effects of climate change” chipped in Senior Sales and Marketing Manager, Farida Khatibu

Founded in 1894, formerly The Arusha Hotel has been a city landmark-playing host to many dignitaries and well-known personalities for close to a century.

Located steps away from the famous Clock Tower, known to mark the center point from Cairo to Cape Town, it is easily accessible from both Arusha as well as the Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA).

Nestled within three acres of lush tropical gardens, it sits snugly in the central business district of the city, within the shadow of the majestic Mount Meru forming the perfect gateway to the popular Serengeti Northern Safari Circuit and to Mount Kilimanjaro.

“Tanzania has long been on the global travelers’ bucket list and the Four Points by Sheraton brand with its blend of stylish comfort and genuine service offers an ideal choice at an honest value,” Suri noted.
