Atlantis, The Palm has raised more than US$120,000 for charity in the course of a year. The Dubai resort raised funds through its Atlas Project launched in June last year, now channelling the money towards nine local conservation and sustainability projects.
Atlantis Atlas Project currently focuses on four key groups of wildlife; sharks, rays, dolphins, and corals, and two key threats to the ocean; unsustainable seafood and plastic pollution.
The project has entirely transformed operations at one of Dubai’s largest hotels. The initiative promised a long-term sustainability drive on a resort-wide level. This includes everything from charity donations, to working with charities, to selling more than 5,000 sustainably-sourced F&B dishes, to the creation and opening of an on-site bottling plant.
