29th February 2024 (Suva, Fiji): Grand Pacific Hotel, part of the FNPF-owned IHG Fiji Hotels, is proud to announce the official launch of its Community Care Fund initiative, dedicated to supporting various community projects in collaboration with its sister hotels, InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa and Holiday Inn Suva.
Since the inception of this philanthropic initiative in July last year, Grand Pacific Hotel has successfully raised funds to contribute towards the betterment of the community, focusing on areas such as supporting children at the Frank Hilton Organization, collaborating with the Ministry of Health & Medical Services, and assisting WOWS Kids Fiji, among other initiatives.
To accelerate the progress made so far, starting March 1st, 2024, Grand Pacific Hotel will automatically include a voluntary FJ$2 contribution per night in the billing of each guest. This nominal yet impactful contribution aims to make a real difference in the lives of children, their families, and communities across Fiji.
“We know that sustainability is as important to you as it is to us – and that’s why we’ve made it easy for you to stay at a hotel that shares your values,” commented Lachlan Walker, Portfolio General Manager – IHG Hotels & Resorts, FNPF Owned Hotels. “IHG’s Journey to Tomorrow is a 10-year action plan involving all IHG Hotels & Resorts in more than 100 countries around the world. The plan was set in motion in 2020 with a series of ambitious new commitments to make a positive difference for our people, communities, and planet. ”
Guests staying at the Grand Pacific Hotel are invited to contribute FJ$2 per night as part of their stay, with funds dedicated to special need-based programs and resources in collaboration with governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Guests also have the flexibility to increase their donation or opt out of the program at any time during their stay by contacting a colleague at the front desk.
It’s not just a stay; it’s a journey toward a better tomorrow. By participating in the Community Care Fund, guests can take pride in the fact that their visit to Grand Pacific Hotel is contributing to the development of education, well-being, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure for Fijians in need.
It is important to note that Grand Pacific Hotel or FNPF-Owned IHG Fiji Hotels & Resorts does not profit from this partnership in any way, ensuring that every dollar contributed directly benefits the community.
