As part of Hilton’s 2030 Goal to send zero soap to landfill and global partnership with Clean the World, the Homewood Suites by Hilton Santo Domingo property will be participating in the Clean the World soap recycling initiative. Through this program, hotels recycle discarded soap and bathroom amenity bottles to divert waste from landfill and enable Clean the World to create new bars of soap to distribute to those in need around the world, ultimately reducing hygiene-related deaths. This initiative is part of Travel with Purpose, Hilton’s corporate responsibility strategy, and aligns with Hilton’s 2030 Goals to cut our environmental footprint in half and double our investment in social impact.
The hotel is the latest example of expansion into the Caribbean and Latin America from the All Suites brands by Hilton, comprised of Embassy Suites by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton. Hilton currently has a portfolio of approximately 150 hotels and resorts open to welcome travelers in the Caribbean and Latin America, including more than 20 hotels in the Caribbean. In its 100th year, the company continues to pursue additional growth opportunities and currently has a robust pipeline of more than 90 hotels throughout the region, including nearly 20 projects in the Caribbean.
