Today we would like to address a topic that has touched us deeply: For most people, holidays are a completely normal thing. However, there are also families for whom holidays are a foreign concept, who can’t afford them or who have suffered a drastic stroke of fate and are therefore no longer able to travel.
Hoteliers give away holidays to children and parents in need
Parents and children who suffer or have suffered from illness, violence, disasters or live in poverty are particularly affected. Those who cannot afford or treat themselves to a holiday on their own. A sad fact, but not an isolated case. “Holidays are a human right!”, thought Karl G. Polaska-Auer and founded the aid organisation “Global Family Charity Resort”. Since then, Global Family has enabled such families to enjoy carefree holidays with helpful, fantastic hosts – completely free of charge. They should be able to enjoy a carefree holiday and recharge their batteries with energy, hope and courage. The many positive responses from those affected and hoteliers show that the concept works and that the holidays given away are not a dispensable luxury, but a priceless life-saver.
“Founder hotelier Hannes Schneider from the 5* Hotel Arlberg once said: ‘Global Family can only survive if the hoteliers also benefit from it well, Global Family naturally also creates benefits for the partner businesses. To this end, we have developed a number of modules that, for example, generate good press, enable free advertising opportunities at trade fairs or generate specific bookings with the 2for1 vouchers that we use for dozens of charity activities.”

So far, 300 hoteliers have joined forces with Global Family to provide those in need with a carefree holiday. If necessary, therapists even accompany the families on holiday to provide them with the best possible care. Incidentally, the aid organisation is supported by the many generous hotelier families, donations and volunteers. What is usually just a small thing for the hotelier is pure happiness for those affected!
We think it’s a great, commendable cause! Chapeau!
