On day one, clients visited five Choice Hotels brand properties including, Comfort Inn Downtown, Comfort Suites Denver Tech Center, Comfort Suites Denver South and Quality Suites at Evergreen Parkway, and were invited to stay overnight at the Cambria Suites Denver Airport. Corporate travel managers, business to business group and leisure buyers from across the country gathered to learn how Choice Hotels can accommodate business travelers, as well as those traveling for leisure.
The Rebuilding Together Project took place on October 23, day two, where Choice employees, associates and franchisees teamed up with participating clients to rebuild one family's house in Denver. During this event, Choice was able to share their mission of providing hospitality by giving back in the communities in which they live and work.
"The goal of the trip was to distinguish Choice Hotels as a company that provides exceptional lodging for corporate travelers and gives back to the community - we are more than just rooms and rates," said Michael Murphy, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at Choice Hotels International. "We want our clients to understand that we have a commitment of service, to our customers and our communities."
Choice Hotels has been a partner of Rebuilding Together since September 2009, debuting its "Room to Rebuild" partnership to help revitalize homes nationwide and in its own backyard. Since that time, the company has sponsored, and its associates volunteered, for numerous rebuilding projects, and in 2009 alone almost 1000 volunteers from Choice Hotels spent more than 6,000 hours on Rebuilding Together projects across the country.
