Sandals Resorts International (SRI) today announced the full list of projects selected to be part of its ‘40 for 40 Initiative’, a humanitarian enterprise that was as part of Sandals Resorts’ 40th-anniversary celebrations.

Sandals Resorts, in partnership with the company’s philanthropic arm, the not-for-profit Sandals Foundation, has identified 40 community projects spanning the eight Caribbean destinations in which SRI operates. Projects were identified that best showcase the power of tourism to transform local communities and improve the lives of vacation destinations’ residents.

SRI’s ’40 for 40 Initiative’ projects were selected for participation in one of six categories:

— Conservation Efforts and Tours – preserving natural resources

— Investing in Food Security – supporting local farmworkers

— Hospitality Training and Certification – ensuring ongoing workforce excellence

— Support of Local Artisans – maintaining cultural heritage

— Music Education & Entertainment – preserving the legacy of Caribbean music

— Small Business and Community Market Support – bolstering local economies

SRI team members from Sandals Resorts, Beaches Resorts and the Sandals Foundation itself will be pitching in their efforts to help bring life to these projects. Visiting guests will also be invited to support and personally participate in many of the activities going on in the region.

“Tourism has the power to transform, not only the lives of the guests who immerse themselves in the charm and culture of the Caribbean while on vacation, but for our team members and neighbors who build their families’ roots in the region,” Adam Stewart, Sandal Resorts International’s Executive Chairman, and President and Founder of the Sandals Foundation. “This is the important work we build on and celebrate today, as part of our relentless efforts to strengthen the transformative link between tourism and the empowerment of our local Caribbean communities.”
