Kandooma Maldives Dedicates September to ‘Giving for Good’

News

September holds a special place for the team at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, an IHG hotel, as they joined thousands of IHG colleagues worldwide in dedicating the month to community service through the annual IHG Giving for Good initiative.

“IHG has hotels spanning more than 100 countries, and it’s this global reach that makes Giving for Good so impactful,” said Sharon Garrett, Director of Marketing & Sustainability, Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives.

“Together, we’re working towards IHG’s ambitious goal of improving the lives of 30 million people as part of our Journey to Tomorrow 10-year action plan.”

At Kandooma, colleagues collectively dedicated 308 hours across September. Their outreach efforts included walks for peace, blood donations, lagoon clean-ups, donations and maintenance support for local schools, and visits to orphanages and special needs homes—nine separate initiatives in total.

Garrett added that Giving for Good empowers every team member to make a difference: “It is tremendously rewarding to know that what you are doing in your own community is having such a profound and positive impact.”

The IHG Journey to Tomorrow plan guides hotels to operate responsibly and align with global goals for people, communities, and the planet. “Together with our guests, business partners, and colleagues, we are committed to shaping the future of responsible travel and delivering on IHG’s purpose of True Hospitality for Good,” Garrett said.
