The project:

We are excited to submit our experiential travel program, ‘Carecations,’ for the Hospitality Awards in the Innovative Concept category. Part of IHCL's ESG++ framework ‘Paathya,’ Carecations aims to revolutionize travel and voluntourism.

Key Factors:

  1. Alignment with IHCL's Vision and Values: Inspired by our founder Mr. Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, Carecations focuses on Preserving Nature, Conserving Heritage, and Serving Community, aligning with our core values of Trust, Awareness, and Joy.
  2. Pioneering Concept in Indian Travel Market: Carecations adds purpose to travel by involving guests in ESG++ initiatives. This allows them to enjoy vacations while learning about and contributing to the environment, culture, and community.
  3. Positive Change for a Better Tomorrow: Through curated voluntourism activities, guests can learn, contribute, and immerse themselves in the heritage and natural beauty of destinations, reflecting our commitment to sustainable change under Paathya.
  4. Diverse Volunteering Themes: Carecations offers varied themes for different audiences, from learning about tribal lifestyles to preserving art forms and aiding differently-abled children. It caters to school groups, families, and corporate teams.
  5. Cost-Effective, High-Impact Program: With existing infrastructure under Paathya, initial costs were mainly for marketing, quickly recouped as Carecations drove a 20% revenue premium and gained market acceptance.
  6. Thought Leadership: Carecations reinforces IHCL's leadership in the Indian hospitality sector, earning praise and contributing to community development.

Our campaign achieved a 58+ million reach on social media and a 20% increase in Average Room Rate for Carecations Stay Packages.

Conclusion: Carecations represents a paradigm shift in travel and hospitality, embodying IHCL's commitment to community and sustainability while empowering travelers to drive positive change. We believe our innovative concept can inspire a new era of socially and environmentally responsible travel experiences.
