Hotelbeds launches ‘Make Room for Ukraine ’initiative
Bedbank Hotelbeds has launched an initiative to help refugees fleeing conflict in Ukraine.
.Working with local NGOs, and with support from hotel partners across Europe, the company has launched its Making Room for Ukraine project.
Hotelbeds’ ESG lead, Aina Aguiló, said; “We knew we had to move quickly as the people of Ukraine needed urgent help, so a lot has been happening in a very short space of time.”
“We are working with NGOs on the Ukrainian border to identify where refugees are heading, the route they will take and what accommodation they will need along the way.”
CEO, Nicolas Huss added: “We recognise that we’re in a pretty unique position within the industry where we can leverage our relationships to support this humanitarian crisis.
“Of course this wouldn’t be possible without the generous help of our hotel partners and the NGOs.”
The project has already helped families make the journey from Ukraine to Spain via Hungary and France.
