Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn employees at the beach clean-up drive

IHG's Dead Sea properties support cleap-up drive

AMMAN, April 17, 2016

Employees from Crowne Plaza Jordan Dead Sea Resort & Spa and Holiday Inn Resort Dead Sea-Jordan, together with members of the Rotary Club of West Amman, participated in a cleanup of the Sweimeh beach at the Dead Sea.

The hotel, which is a part of the InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG), is participating in the parent group's 'Keep Jordan Clean’ campaign, which was recently launched by the Rotary Club of West Amman.

In addition to employees from both resorts, area general manager of IHG Dead Sea Properties, Firas Irsheidat, and director of sales and marketing of IHG Dead Sea Properties, Abeer Dabbas, took part in the event.

Speaking on the occasion, Irsheidat affirmed the group’s commitment to joining efforts exerted across the kingdom that seek to create a paradigm shift in people’s level of awareness regarding environmental, health and public safety issues, to name a few. He also expressed IHG’s focus on raising awareness regarding the importance of the Dead Sea as a national resource, as it attracts tourists from all around the world and enhances the kingdom’s standing as a favoured destination for therapeutic and recreational tourism.

“The Dead Sea tops the list of global destinations for medical and recreational tourism, especially after receiving the World Health Organization’s accreditation and being ranked as an international center for the treatment of many skin diseases in 2011. As active members within the tourism sector, we are dedicated to raising the awareness of Dead Sea visitors, both individuals and families, so that they may be partners in maintaining the cleanliness of our beaches. In this way, we will not only reflect the true image of our society, but also preserve the area’s aesthetic and highlight its vital role in supporting the tourism and investment sectors,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
