initiative, during the Halloween period (September 5th to November 4th, 2024), we installed an object with a witch’s hat motif at our sister hotel, Hotel Universal Port Vita, which was enjoyed by many customers. . This time, the second time, we moved the event to Hotel Universal Port so that more people could experience it, and we created an object with the motif of Santa’s hat. As a part of regional co-creation, all the production of the objects is outsourced to a production company in the Kansai region.Using the technology of “lantern modeling,” which uses vinyl membrane material to create three-dimensional objects, a vinyl umbrella that was scheduled to be discarded was used as the surface material. It’s cycling. For the surface painting, we use a recycled paint called “Dimple Art Color,” which is made from waste materials generated during the manufacturing process of car windshields. When you turn the handle placed next to the object, Santa’s hat lights up using human power. It is an earth-friendly object that increases interest in SDGs while having fun. 1.
