Vistas "Green-Action": "Green"-- Green Travel, "Action"-- Active Life. The CTS Hotels "Green Travel-Active Life" themed event will start in Beijing and extend to every city where Vistas Hotels are located across the country, encouraging guests and staff to promote the brand philosophy of CTS Hotels through group walking and advocate an environmentally friendly, low-carbon, healthy, and joyful lifestyle. The event invites professional fitness coaches to share fitness knowledge and teach home workout routines. CTS Hotels will also hold subsequent mobile photography competitions and "Green-Action" story-sharing activities.
Over the past year, CTS Hotels have sought social recognition and actively fulfilled their corporate social responsibilities by integrating the concepts of "green" and "sports." They launched the Vistas "Green-Action" public welfare campaign across 30 cities in Hong Kong, Macau, East China, South China, and North China where Vistas Hotels are located. This initiative includes the "Vistas Green Action Anti-Smog Campaign" and the "Vistas Green Action Fitness Program." The "Green Action Anti-Smog Campaign" calls on guests and employees to start with small daily actions—opting for green travel, reducing carbon emissions, and combating urban smog. The "Green Action Fitness Program" focuses on the lifestyle of Chinese people who exercise less and face high stress, encouraging them to find a healthy work-life balance through physical activity.
Vistas Hotels have always cared about the environment we depend on, reducing CO₂ emissions, water consumption, and waste sorting by designing jogging routes, using more energy-saving equipment such as LED lights, reducing plastic usage, and actively participating in the "Earth Hour" campaign, among other efforts, to lower various energy consumptions in hotel operations. As a leading domestic hotel brand in China, CTS Hotels hope that through their long-term commitment and practice of "green" and "sports," they can introduce mainstream values of green fitness, environmental protection, and low-carbon living into China's hotel industry, fostering eco-friendly and low-carbon travel habits among Chinese hotel guests.
