At Sol Meliá we believe that cooperating with other organisations is the best way to find solutions to the different needs in societies in which we operate. That is why we always aim to keep up a two-way dialogue with non-profit organisations and public institutions, always seeking to offer our services as a platform for cooperation.
One of the most important factors in Sol Meliá community involvement is the cooperation of hotels through the free use of their facilities. More often than not, this is also accompanied by the cooperation of staff providing voluntary service.
One case that deserves a special mention is the terrible plane crash at Barajas Airport (Madrid, Spain) on 20 August after which Sol Meliá helped out by donating 65 hotel stays to Red Cross volunteers and staff.
