PAN Pacific Hotels Group will provide 25,000 room nights in complimentary hotel stays to healthcare workers, to honour their contributions in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a news release on Tuesday, Pan Pacific said that it will be contributing the stays to SingHealth, the National Healthcare Group and the National University Health System (NUHS).

Pan Pacific's chief executive officer Choe Peng Sum said that the contribution, which is worth S$6.5 million, "is our way of honouring (healthcare workers) for their exceptional spirit and service to the nation and community through this crisis."

Called HERO, or Healthcare Employees Recognition and Ovation, the initiative will allow the healthcare workers to enjoy a stay at six of Pan Pacific's hotels from Dec 1 this year to March 31, 2021.

Each stay will come with a la carte buffet breakfast, no extra charge for children under 12 years of age staying together, 50 per cent off dining at all hotel-operated restaurants and 30 per cent off spa services at St Gregory.
