Marriott International in Asia Pacific (excluding Greater China) has launched its Community Caregiver Program for healthcare workers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Designed to provide support to the healthcare workers who are at the forefront of the pandemic, the initiative allows those aiding in the Covid-19 response effort to book hotel rooms that may be close to their workplace at a special rate.
Beyond the Community Caregiver Program, Marriot International has also established various programs to aid in the urgent fight against the pandemic, including Marriott Bonvoy’s Giving Platform.
Through the initiative, Marriott Bonvoy members will be able to donate their points to relief organizations that are active in COVID-19 responses around the world that Marriott is also supporting.
