Education met fun at Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives, this Children’s Day as the resort  launched its inaugural Playshop Series in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism. The  resort hosted a group of aspiring bright minds from the Ahmadiyya international school for  an engaging and immersive educational tour around the island. The objective of this tour  was for students who are keen on pursuing a career in hospitality to gain first-hand  knowledge of resort operations and to inspire them at a young age to pursue their dreams.  “It is pivotal that resorts contribute and invest in the future of the hospitality industry which  is the main economic contributor of the nation, and one that will only be more important in  the next ten years. And it is our responsibility to shape the young minds in the sustainable  direction from the on-set.”– Raffaele Solferino – General Manager  

The students had the opportunity to meet the management team, observe the key  operational aspects of the island, and participate in an interactive training session with the  resident marine biologist on the importance of taking a planet-first approach in this  industry. The group was later joined by the resort’s Human Resources, Learning and  Development team members for an engaging question-and-answer session over a  sumptuous lunch at the Edge restaurant. The first volume of this Playshop series was  phenomenally received by the participants as it was an effective way to spark future leaders’  passions and dreams. The resort aims to continue the series as a permanent addition to the  resort’s Regenerative Tourism project, and to positively impact the community with  meaningful initiatives.
