For this Children's Day, staff members from the Shangri-La Hotel Beijing are going to spend the day with students at Dandelion Secondary School, the first middle school specially built for migrant workers' children.
Employees from the Crowne Plaza Beijing Parkview Wuzhou hotel also share the passion for helping migrant workers' children.
On Children's Day, the hotel will take 40 students from Jinbangyuan Elementary School on a free day trip to Beijing's Blue Zoo Underwater World, with the fund entirely donated by Crowe Plaza Beijing Parkview Wuzhou hotel staff. Jinbangyuan Elementary School is built on the base of former Anningzhuang primary school to meet the growing educational needs of migration from rural areas.
The hotel is also creating a giant photo mosaic by collecting smiling faces of these children, which will be displayed in the hotel's lobby on Children's Day, June 1. One lucky child will win a two-night stay in the presidential suite at any of the of Shangri-La Group's hotels.
While trying each year to come up with new ideas for the annual celebration, many hotels also focus on long-term strategies that target family vacationers.
Swissotel Beijing has prepared a seasonally updated children menu created by a nutrition expert. It has also taken an extra step to anticipate younger clients' needs, by creating unique children's hotel rooms based on three different age groups, with such features as cuddly toys, cartoon books and videos.
