CLARK, PHILIPPINES (18 December 2023) – Travel + Leisure Co. Global Support Services (Philippines), Inc. employees successfully released more than 140 baby sea turtles to the sea in Bagac, Bataan, in partnership with the Pag-asa Pawikan Protection and Conservation Center (3P3C).

Over 50 employees in Clark recently joined 3P3C’s orientation on turtle conservation and the safe release of hatchlings, part of Travel + Leisure Co.’s Philippines’ Save the Turtles initiative.

“As a leader in the global leisure travel industry, Travel + Leisure Co. is committed to having a positive impact on the environment, promoting responsible tourism, and incorporating sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations,” said Liam Crawley, President of Travel + Leisure Co. Philippines.

“We are incredibly proud of our employees who actively volunteer for important causes like turtle conservation. This was our fourth time conducting a release, and it is inspiring to see the number of employees involved growing and the significant impact that our partnership with 3P3C has made,” added Crawley.

The team also adopted 30 turtle nests – each containing 40 to120 eggs – which involves employees committing to donate money to the organization to procure necessary items and supplies for patrolling the shores.

“Some of our colleagues based in other countries like Australia and the USA have also adopted the nests and even named them after their loved ones and friends,” shared Crawley.

Out of the seven sea turtle species in the world, five can be found in the Philippines. Three turtle species, including green, olive ridley, and hawksbill turtles, make the shores of Bagac their nesting sites. Hawksbill turtles are classified as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List because of their low survival rates caused by poaching, rising sea levels, and natural predators.

The 3P3C is a community-based group of volunteers who patrol the shores of Bagac for turtle eggs, protect them from poachers, rescue injured turtles, and provide environmental education to the broader community.

CLARK, PHILIPPINES (25 October 2023) – Travel + Leisure Co. Global Support Services (Philippines), Inc. has taken a proactive step towards environmental conservation by initially planting 75 bamboo trees in Sitio Target, an Aeta community in Sapang Bato, Angeles City. This is part of the company’s ongoing project that has planted over 1,000 fruit trees in the community.

The initiative aligns with the ongoing efforts by various stakeholders to rehabilitate the 560-hectare Angeles watershed to maintain a sustainable water supply for Angeles City and the greater Metro Clark area.

Travel + Leisure Co. Philippines has partnered with the Aetas of Sitio Target and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources through its Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (DENR-PENRO) in Pampanga. DENR-PENRO provides Travel + Leisure Co. Philippines with tree seedlings that the company brings to various local communities for planting.

“Our parent company, Travel + Leisure Co., is committed to making a sustainable impact globally. And we are extending that commitment to the Philippines where we help improve the environment and support local communities in developing sustainable programs that deliver economic benefits,” said Liam Crawley, President of Travel + Leisure Co. Philippines.

The team has been planting fruit-bearing trees in the area for two years now to help provide another source of food and livelihood for the Aeta community. This year, the team has started planting bamboo trees in preparation for the typhoon season. The bamboo trees play a vital role in preventing soil erosion and controlling water overflow from nearby streams. This will protect the vegetables and fruit trees planted by the Aetas near the streams.

“We are immensely grateful to our executives and associates in Clark for their unwavering commitment to this initiative as they volunteer their time to support the local community,” added Crawley.

Globally, Travel + Leisure Co. aims to plant two million trees by 2025. The company planted 71,000 trees in 2022, totaling 1,854,055 trees planted to date in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation.

PORT DOUGLAS (14 AUGUST 2023) – Ramada Resort by Wyndham Port Douglas is proud to announce it has partnered with the National Indigenous Training Academy (NITA) to provide traineeship placements to First Nations students seeking a career in hospitality.

The placement gives young people completing certificate qualifications in hospitality and tourism through NITA – part of Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia – a practical taste of the industry, where Ramada Port Douglas will offer experience in both food and beverage, housekeeping and elsewhere at the resort.

“Hospitality in Port Douglas suffered financially during COVID-19 and then experienced staff shortages afterward, but agreements like these can help to nurture young talent – especially in our First Nations communities – and ensure a continual supply of workers to the industry,” said Hani Daher, General Manager at Ramada Port Douglas.

“Nationwide, hospitality is seen as transient, so it is important we encourage and train people who are intent on making a career in this sector. It offers exciting careers with leadership responsibilities, personal growth, and the opportunity to travel all over the world,” he said.

Both students currently at the resort are enrolled in a 12-month full-time traineeship through NITA and work four shifts at Ramada Port Douglas per week, while also taking part in practical training and theory sessions at the Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Ramada Port Douglas to offer our NITA trainees even more on-the-job experience and help them hone their skills in tourism and hospitality”, said Matthew Cameron-Smith, CEO at Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia. “The opportunity for trainees to share their time between Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre and Ramada Port Douglas will deliver invaluable experience, helping to set them up for long-term success in the industry.”

NITA offers unique training, working and residential programs at both Ayers Rock Resort and Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre and aims to change the lives of Indigenous Australians by providing market leading training programs that empower an Indigenous workforce.

Set amongst Melaleuca rainforest and surrounded by lush gardens and free flowing waterways filled with barramundi, the 193-room Ramada Port Douglas is a mixed-use resort utilised by holiday club members of Club Wyndham South Pacific and resort guests. The resort also offers a pool with river, onsite day spa, a gym and 3Sixteen Bar & Bistro.
