Marriott Group Launches Light of Hope Initiative

Westin Denarau Fiji Resort and Spa have launched the ‘Light for Hope’ campaign to build confidence and give guests and associates hope and something to look forward to.

Marriott International hotels across Asia Pacific have engaged in these ‘feel good and give hope’ initiatives which look to spread positivity amidst the challenging times the world is currently facing.

As part of the initiative, a symbol of a smiley face is lit on the façade of hotels to project a happy demeanour radiating positivity, with hopes that it brings a smile to the faces of everyone who sees it.

In Fiji, the smiley face is now pictured on Westin Denarau Fiji Resort and Spa’s lobby façade with the support of in-house audio and visual company, Micro-Hire.

Neeraj Chadha, Multi Property Vice President, Fiji & Samoa – Marriott International and General Manager - Sheraton & Westin Resorts, Fiji said: “On the 20th of May we celebrated Marriott International’s 93rd Anniversary.

“We hope the lit smiley face on our signature bure at the Westin lobby will act as a beacon of hope to our associates, to continue to spread our Bula smiles and Bula spirits to the rest of the world and stay positive during these challenging times.”

As part of the ‘Feel Good’ engagement, the Sales and Marketing team have also been conducting virtual calls and meetings with key contacts, sharing positive stories and keeping the spirits high.

“I am grateful our business associates have extended their support, with Micro Hire bringing to life our visions for the ‘Light for Hope’ campaign. It is during such times that we must continue to work together, especially as an industry,” Mr Chadha said.
