Avani Hotels & Resorts is committed to creating a positive impact with the introduction of its Dollars for Deeds CSR programme in Asia. The initiative empowers guests to support various worthy causes, including children's hospitals in Laos, disability organisations in Bali, elephant foundations in Thailand, and coral reef protection programmes in the Indian Ocean. The upscale hotel brand invites guests to participate in this opt-out initiative, encouraging them to contribute one dollar per night of their stay, with parent company Minor Hotels matching each donation dollar for dollar. By joining the pledge, Avani allows guests to give back to the communities and environments they've encountered during their travels across Asia.

In Laos, Avani+ Luang Prabang is working closely with the Lao Friends Hospital for Children to help treat over 35,000 children annually. The Dollars for Deeds programme ensures that for every one-night stay, the hotel generates the equivalent of either 50 ampoules of vitamin B1 to combat life-threatening diseases, a casting kit for broken and fractured bones, or a doctor's appointment to help provide life-saving diagnoses.

"We value the robust connections with our partners who consistently contribute to the cause of saving young lives. Avani+ Luang Prabang has emerged as a key contributor within this community through its Dollars for Deeds programme, and we are immensely thankful for the hotel's support." - Pierre Boismard, Director of Development at the Laos Friends Hospital for Children.
