Marriott Bonvoy portfolio of hotels and resorts in Phuket in partnership with Scholars of Sustenance (SOS), a food rescue foundation, continue promoting food equity and delivering warm meals to the local community.
“Serving our world is not a trend. It’s one of Marriott’s core values. Here at Marriott, we are committed to giving back to the local communities where we live and work, especially in these challenging times.” said Mr. Brad Edman, Multi Property Vice President Phuket and General Manager at Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa. “Tourists continue to visit Phuket; however, the full business recovery is expected to take time and we are in it for the long-haul. The communities in which we operate continue to struggle and providing them nutritious meals and support is critically important. Our hotels and our associates will continue all efforts to promote food equity in the community.”
