Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana is going to pick the bottle up to commemorate the Earth Day, one of the world’s most respectful days towards global warming since 1970. The Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana will challenge itself one year again looking for waste to transform into competition boats.

                                                                                                  

The Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana will demonstrate in the most pacific way for the fourth time in a row with at its side other Rotana hotels’ teams in Abu Dhabi, the New York University of Abu Dhabi and The Body Shop, organizing a boat race on its private beach. Guests and colleagues will creatively build boats using for the most PET bottles on the 19th of April, 2017 between 09.00 am and 11.00 am to show that waste is not just something used in the past and worthless in the present but that has its own future too!

 

Over 1 million sea birds and 100.000 sea mammals die every year because of ocean littering. As far as humans are concerned more than 3 million children under the age of five die every year because of environmental factors. According to a WWF information the extinction rate of animal species is between 1.000 and 10.000 higher than the natural extinction rate, the estimated number found by researchers is obviously not easily explained. Many factors influence this phenomenon. Some are unknown but it is clear that with a world population of almost 7.5 billion, the scale leans under our weight.

 

The guests and colleagues of all Rotana hotels in Abu Dhabi, the employees of The Body Shop and the students of the New York University of Abu Dhabi will tie plastic bottles and recycled materials together to make ships carrying two rowers. The participating hotels are Al Maha Arjaan, Hala Arjaan, Centro Al Manhal, Al Rawda Arjaan, Park Rotana, Beach Rotana, Centro Capital Centre and Capital Centre Arjaan. Hotel managers, media and outside guests are invited for this challenging, funny and interactive activity. Competition will be felt while commemorating this day dedicated to our beloved planet earth.

 

Earth Day is one of the numerous Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana’s CSR activities lined up in its environmental friendly plan, and the hotel will continue to support similar causes in the future.
