As a family-owned company, Preferred Hotels & Resorts is strongly committed to philanthropic efforts and showing unconditional support for communities in need. We are proud to work with so many colleagues around the globe, who share a commitment to make the world a better place . Positive actions of a few inspire many others to do their part and making a larger impact on others in the future.

We support the SIRIUS ACADEMY AWARD campaign which has evolved into a tremendous success, and we are immensely proud of the impact we have made so far. With our initial endowment and donations from generous HoteliersGuild members, this initiative already secured 40 scholarships for underprivileged African female students, and we're just getting started. As we move forward, we are committed to growing and sustaining this success story for years to come. Thank you for your continued support of this noble cause. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these deserving students. Thank you so much for supporting this noble cause.

The HoteliersGuild

LeadingHôtelières chapter was launched by an esteemed group of female executives who share a commitment to accelerate gender equality in the hospitality industry and elevate more women into leadership roles.

The collective expertise of our members is incredibly powerful, and we look forward to creating further momentum on a global scale by using the findings of our first year’s work to create and provide education, mentorship, and training in the areas that will have the most success in moving progress forward. I am proud to join together with fellow industry colleagues in championing this crucial cause and very excited to see what we can achieve in the years ahead.

Iam delighted to be part of the growing number of women who are leading the way and making the hospitality industry a more inclusive place. Thank you, Frank, for allowing me the opportunity of being a member of the Hoteliers Guild. I hope that together we can continue to do good for the communities we operate in, while giving back to the planet.

Iam honoured to be on the panel of the HoteliersGuild, and I want to thank Frank for the opportunity. I believe that hotel, or any business, must have a purpose beyond profit. The must play a greater role in the world beyond enriching their shareholders. By taking bold steps, we in the tourism industry can fundamentally redress the balance between business and communities, and shift back to the original purpose of the corporation as a service to society.

The corner stone of our industry is the human connection. Forbes Travel Guide exists to champion, support and celebrate all those with a passion for extraordinary service. I am delighted to be a part of this wonderful initiatives and to contribute in any way I can.
