Shaw later explained to TTG this “random” gesture of kindness would likely be the first of many from Grecotel in 2025. “We’ve been discussing internally about doing more charitable events, supporting agencies by finding out what they need from us,” she said.
“I was scrolling through TTG and I thought, ‘Oh my god, this is perfect’. This is what the travel industry is about.”
