Over three days, from November 24th to 26th, 2017, AccorHotels teams from Asia and beyond will cycle through the countryside of Cambodia, from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. They will visit the beneficiaries of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) committed to raising awareness of and overcoming inequalities related to five Diversity & Inclusion pillars: disabilities, gender, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender), generations and culture — as well as partake in a unique, culturally-enriching and interactive experience.

By committing to the ride, each team of three individuals is aspiring to raise a total of USD 10,000. The majority of funds raised will be distributed by AccorHotels to these NGOs — Ecole Paul Dubrule and Friends-International — while a small minority of funds will cover the teams’ participation costs within Cambodia.

“Welcoming others, accepting and valuing their differences, acknowledging that we will be enriched by our contact with them, this is one of the founding principles of [AccorHotels]… One of our firmly held convictions is that when we are able to acknowledge diversity in others, we create the conditions that are conducive to their well-being and we foster the expression of their talent. It supports the individual performance as well as being in our common interest.” – Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO, AccorHotels and Arantxa Balson, Chief Talent & Culture Officer, AccorHotels.
