The Marriott India Business Council celebrated the 10th anniversary of its social initiative, “Road to Give,” bringing together associates across multiple countries to participate in fitness activities for charitable causes. Over the past decade, the initiative has promoted both physical well-being and social responsibility, leaving a lasting impact on communities.
Since the program’s launch, “Road to Give” has encouraged Marriott employees to engage in activities such as running, walking, cycling, and wellness challenges. This year, around 9,000 to 10,000 associates from India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka joined these efforts. The events are aimed at raising INR 1.20 crore (approx.) in donations to support Rising Star Outreach of India, a Chennai-based NGO that provides vocational training and social programs for individuals affected by leprosy.
Participating hotels, including Courtyard by Marriott Pune Chakan, led various fitness events and challenges, highlighting Marriott’s dedication to uplifting communities. According to the organizers, the initiative has evolved into a key part of the company’s social responsibility framework, fostering teamwork among employees while enabling charities to extend their reach.
Reflecting on the journey, Sanjay Gupta, Chairman of the Marriott India Business Council, remarked, “Ten years of ‘Road to Give’ is a testament to our associates’ unwavering dedication to service and community engagement. This initiative not only fostered teamwork and camaraderie but also reinforced our commitment to the communities we are privileged to serve. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain determined to continue our journey of creating positive change together.”
To mark the occasion, Marriott encouraged associates, partners, and the broader community to join the celebrations by participating in events or donating to the cause. The council emphasized that every step taken, every mile covered, and every donation made contributes toward building a better future for the community.
The “Road to Give” initiative exemplifies Marriott’s long-term commitment to promoting fitness and philanthropy, creating a culture of giving that extends beyond the workplace. With each passing year, the campaign has successfully mobilized thousands of employees, raising significant funds and positively impacting lives across the region.

Banyan Tree Spa Krabi, recently recognized by the MICHELIN Guide as one of Thailand’s top luxury spas, is redefining relaxation with its latest wellness offering—complimentary weightless therapy sessions. This innovative flotation therapy allows guests to experience deep relaxation and stress relief through guided water-based techniques.
Weightless therapy, also known as flotation therapy, involves floating in water to create a sensation of zero gravity, which helps alleviate muscle tension and mental fatigue. Banyan Tree Spa Krabi’s Wellbeing Practitioner, Dr. Subhash Shanbhag, and his expert team lead one-on-one sessions, ensuring a personalized and immersive experience.
Guests can choose between two specialized sessions:
Both private and group sessions are available, offering an alternative approach to physical and mental well-being. “Weightless therapy is an alternative way to heal your body and mind,” said Banyan Tree Spa Krabi Manager, Ms. Montira Vichiankoo. “Floating in water not only induces relaxation but also benefits muscles, joints, and overall circulation.”
The weightless therapy sessions complement the award-winning spa’s extensive wellness offerings, including traditional Thai massages, deep tissue therapies, and hydrothermal experiences. Banyan Tree Spa Krabi’s signature Rainforest hydrotherapy circuit—featuring a Rain Walk, Steam Room, Sauna, Ice Fountain, and Jet Pool—has been described by the MICHELIN Guide as a place where “tropical serenity meets holistic wellness.”
Another standout treatment is the Tropical Rainmist experience, where guests relax under a gentle rain shower before enjoying an invigorating body scrub and Thai massage. The Sense of Place - Krabi Tranquility treatment, a 150-minute journey of skin polishing, stone massage, and an aromatic coconut milk bath, offers another level of indulgence.
All spa therapists undergo rigorous training at the Banyan Spa & Wellbeing Academy in Phuket, ensuring world-class expertise in anatomy, massage techniques, and holistic therapies.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Andaman Sea, Banyan Tree Krabi offers 72 luxurious pool suites and villas, including a seven-bedroom Presidential Villa. The resort features fine dining restaurants, a beach club, a kids' club, and state-of-the-art wellness facilities.
With multiple accolades, including recognition from Conde Nast Traveler’s Readers' Choice Awards as the No. 4 resort in Thailand, Banyan Tree Krabi continues to be a leader in luxury hospitality and wellness experiences.
