Coastal Clean-Up by One of the Top Luxury Resorts in Goa

PANAJI, GOA--(Marketwire - Sep 22, 2011) - To mark the annual International Coastal Clean-up (ICC) event, Goa Marriott Resort & Spa will conduct a Beach Cleaning drive on 28^th September, 2011. This will singularly highlight the world's largest volunteer effort to clean the marine environment. Alongside the efforts of the Panaji hotel, will be the participation of students from Don Bosco College, IIAS School of Management, IAM Hotel School and Goa University.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of people in more than 75 countries are united in the world's largest volunteer event on behalf of clean waterways and unpolluted oceans -- the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC). They remove millions of pounds of trash from waterways and beaches all over the world during Ocean Conservancy's ICC. 'Ocean Conservancy' is a non-profit organization that promotes health and diverse ocean ecosystems through research, education and science.

To support this international movement, Goa Marriott Resort & Spa will organize a community beach cleaning wherein approximately 150 of the Goa luxury resort's associates and students from Don Bosco College, IIAS School of Management, Goa University and IAM Hotel School will participate in clearing the Miramar beach segment of trash and debris. The waste scrap will then be segregated and handed over to the Municipal Corporation for recycling purposes.

As part of the resort's 'Spirit To Serve' ideology directed at serving its community, this 5 star beach hotel in Goa endeavours to work as a team, committed to organizing groups, scouting clean-up sites and rallying volunteers all year round. At the Marriott, the concept of Going Green starts with Living Blue.
