An ongoing programme has been initiated by Mahaweli Reach Hotel in the past few years, whereby together with our guests and staff we commemorate “World Earth Hour”. This is done in a meaningful manner by lighting candles and saving energy for an hour despite high occupancy, which though a symbolic gesture increases awareness of the need to conserve energy. This indeed contributes further as part of a greater plan being implemented by the hotel to increase energy efficiency and reduce consumption which has had a beneficial effect on the environment.
