Donating hotel points to charity
Business Traveller UK|April 2020
Following our February round-up of frequent flyer programmes that allow you to donate unwanted air miles to charity (see businesstraveller.com/tag/loyalty), here we look at what some of the main hotel loyalty schemes have to offer in this regard.
Donating hotel points to charity

Accor

The Accor Live Limitless (ALL) programme lets you convert your points into a donation to either the Accor Solidarity, an endowment fund that helps local NGOs supporting people at risk of poverty, or Plant for the Planet, a initiative for planting trees globally and supporting small-scale farmers. all.accor.com

Best Western

The Best Western Rewards scheme allows guests to donate points to the hotel group’s partnered charity, Shelter. bestwestern.co.uk

Hilton

Hilton Honors has teamed up with Point Worthy to enable you to donate points to a good cause. To take part, you have to open an account on pointworthy.com, which links to your Honors account. Make a donation of at least 4,000 points to one of the charities, which include American Red Cross and Make A Wish Foundation, and Hilton will convert this into an equivalent cash sum – 4,000 points equates to US$10. hiltonhonors3.hilton.com

The rail thing - Why airlines and train companies are partnering to increase options for travellers on short journeys

An intercity flight connection operated by train would have been almost unthinkable in the early 1990s, but in 2024 it will increasingly be the default experience at many European hub airports. European nations have been among the world's leaders in adopting high-speed rail for short-distance trips, along with Asian countries such as Japan and China.

Adventures in Albania - From paranoid dictatorship to dream travel destination, why the Balkan nation is ready for its moment in the sun

Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.
