The InterConti­nental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa has continued its “going green” journey in earnest.

This time the resort hopes to educate future generation­s by involving local schools and communitie­s in their beach clean-up drives.

“It is aimed at giving back to nature and emphasisin­g the importance of keeping Fiji’s natural environmen­t pristine,” Area general manager Andrew Davidson said. And he led by example when he headed the resort team, their families and students from nearby schools in a massive beach clean-up campaign at Natadola Beach last Wednesday.

Their clean up drive covered the three main areas of the two-kilometre beach.

InterConti­nental Fiji sits on Natadola Beach – voted by as one of the best beaches in the world.

“The event highlights InterConti­nental Fiji’s participat­ing in ‘Giving for Good Month’ - an annual global event where all IHG properties engage through volunteer, Go Green & Health fitness and wellbeing of the staff,” Mr Davidson said.

“The participat­ion by staff and management of InterConti­nental Fiji will give financial assistance to the needy.

“This is through Care Internatio­nal UK, one of IHG’s long-standing partners, this major humanitari­an aid agency is there for people when disasters strike.

“It helps IHG ensure our hotels know how to best prepare for and respond to disasters.”
