Encouraging guests to travel with purpose by packing items that can make a positive impact on local communities.
Through its newly launched ‘Pack for Hope’ initiative, Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts invites guests to embark on a meaningful journey by contributing to local communities during their vacations. This initiative, part of the broader Cenizaro Cares programme, encourages travelers to allocate a small space in their luggage for essential items that can be donated upon arrival at the resort.
From educational materials to non-perishable food and sports gear, these small donations can greatly benefit local communities by supporting their education and welfare. The ‘Pack for Hope’ initiative is a vital aspect of Cenizaro’s commitment to regenerative tourism, which spans across its properties in the Maldives, Zanzibar, Douz, Mauritius, Tunis, and Bintan.
“At Cenizaro Hotels and Resorts, we believe that travel can be a force for good. With our ‘Pack for Hope’ program, we are empowering our guests to make a tangible difference in the lives of our local communities. By bringing essential items with them, our guests become active participants in fostering a more sustainable and compassionate world,” says Alexys Tjhia, Director of Corporate Sustainability, Cenizaro Hotels and Resorts.
Each resort is partnered with local schools and orphanages, who will benefit from the donated supplies. From gifting books to build out libraries – ensuring global thoughts, ideas, and expressions accessible to students of all ages – to stationery and sporting equipment, all items will be put to immediate use by the local children.
Each of the resort teams also contribute to local food and clothing banks which donations can be gifted to, meaning non-perishable foods and clothing items which guests may no longer wear are also of help. These items can be dropped off by guests at the respective resort upon arrival.
By ensuring contributions are aligned with the needs of locals, guests can play a pivotal role in helping Cenizaro deliver effective support that aligns with the needs of the local communities. This targeted approach allows resorts to directly addresses the challenges and priorities unique to their neighbourhood, leading to a more meaningful and lasting positive impact.
