Guests staying at the Radisson SAS Bay Point Resort in St Julians over the last two years have donated a total of €50,000, which will go towards the preservation of St Paul's Catacombs in Rabat.

Radisson SAS Bay Point Resort is supporting the HSBC-Hotel Heritage Scheme launched by the HSBC Cares For Malta's Heritage Fund, together with the leading five-star hotels and in collaboration with Heritage Malta.

All guests staying at the Resort are being asked for a voluntary contribution of €1 per room per night to be added to their hotel bill.

The Radisson SAS Bay Point Resort, owned and operated by Island Hotels Group, has always promoted a responsible business policy. The resort, together with the other Island Hotels Group properties, hold at heart environmental improvements and social responsibility in the surrounding communities. The Radisson SAS Bay Point Resort has in the past received a number of international and local awards for the environmentally sound practices that it uses in the overall operation of the resort.

Resort general manager Ernest Barry said: "The Radisson SAS Bay Point front office team have made this initiative their own and through their efforts have convinced the majority of our guests to donate towards our heritage sites which are then improved and maintained for both locals and visitors alike. Participating in helping restore one of the world's heritage sites is not only our pleasure but also a commitment which fits in with our culture and mentality of responsible tourism."

At first €41,000 were collected but Radisson donated another €9,000, bringing the total donation to €50,000.
