AmaWaterways Offers Temporary Housing for Ukrainian Refugees
byDaniel McCarthy/
River Cruise Line Amawaterways正在竭尽所能,以帮助乌克兰因与俄罗斯的持续战争而逃离家园的乌克兰人民。
Amawaterways发言人本周告诉TMR,这条线已经借出了其中一艘河船,为逃离乌克兰逃往荷兰的难民提供临时住宿。
The ship, which is currently docked alongside another vessel that will be providing food services to the refugees, welcomed its first families, mostly women and children, on Monday.
“我们对乌克兰正在发生的事情感到非常难过。我们想竭尽所能,为通过与阿姆斯特丹港口的合作伙伴关系而受到影响的人们提供支持,我们能够为抵达荷兰的乌克兰难民提供一些紧急住宿。
The line is one of many travel companies that have targeted their resources to provide aid to Ukraine and its people.
Carnival Corp.’s Costa Cruises is doing the same with its Costa Magica ship, which has been offered to the Italian Government to be used as part of its plan to host refugees over the coming weeks. Costa is also providing medical supplies to support those that need it in Ukraine.
That move from Costa followed a $3 million donation from the Mickey and Madeleine Arison Family Foundation, the organization built and named after Carnival Corp. Chairman Micky Arison and his wife Madeleine, to provide aid to Ukrainian refugees, as well.
Major hotel chains, including Hyatt, Hilton, IHG, and Marriott, have also been dedicating rooms to housing refugees in Europe. Most, if not all,have paused their investment in Russian hotels at least during the conflict. Marriott has also been allowing its guests to donate points to UNICEF or World Central Kitchen through the Marriott website.
Profits from the most recent New York Travel and Adventure Show, hosted by TMR and Unicomm, were alsodedicated to organizations providing relief to Ukraine.
