As I sit on the deck of the Celestyal Crystal cruise ship, I am reminded of the incredible impact that tourism can have on the communities we visit.
Recently, Turkey was hit by a devastating earthquake, leaving over one million people homeless and in need of immediate relief.
But instead of simply sailing away and continuing on with our vacation, Celestyal Cruises has partnered with the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) to provide much-needed aid to those affected by the disaster.
Through this partnership, Celestyal has donated blankets and sleeping bags to provide shelter for those who have lost their homes.
But their commitment goes beyond just donating supplies.
They have also pledged to donate a portion of the revenues from shore excursions in Turkey to the relief effort.
It is heartening to see a company not only recognize the impact they can have on the communities they visit, but also take proactive steps to make a difference in the lives of those affected by tragedy.

Partnership with AFAD
I’m impressed with Celestyal Cruises’ partnership with AFAD to provide relief supplies to Turkey after the devastating earthquake.
The partnership between Celestyal Cruises and AFAD has made a significant impact on the relief efforts in Turkey.

Donation of Supplies
Donating supplies to those affected by the recent earthquake is an important way to provide much-needed support and assistance. Celestyal’s donation of blankets and sleeping bags will help provide shelter for those who have lost their homes. But their commitment to the relief effort doesn’t stop there.
Here are four ways that corporate social responsibility can have a positive impact on communities:
-
Providing immediate aid: Celestyal’s donation of supplies will help those affected by the earthquake in Turkey. In times of natural disasters, people need basic necessities like food, water, and shelter. Companies that donate these supplies are helping to meet an immediate need and make a difference in people’s lives.
-
Supporting local businesses: By donating a portion of the revenues from shore excursions in Turkey to the relief effort, Celestyal is also supporting local businesses. When companies invest in local economies, they create jobs and help communities thrive.
-
Building trust and goodwill: When companies step up to help during times of crisis, they build trust and goodwill with their customers. By showing that they care about the communities they visit, Celestyal is strengthening their reputation as a responsible corporate citizen.
-
Inspiring others to take action: When companies lead by example, they inspire others to take action. By donating supplies and revenues to the relief effort in Turkey, Celestyal is setting an example for other companies to follow. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by natural disasters.
Donation of Revenues
By contributing a portion of my shore excursion revenue to the relief effort in Turkey, I’m able to support local businesses and make a positive impact on the community.
As a responsible corporate citizen, Celestyal Cruises is committed to maximizing our donations in ways that benefit the people of Turkey. By donating a portion of our revenues from shore excursions in Turkey, we’re not only helping those affected by the earthquake, but also supporting the local economy and businesses that rely on tourism.
The impact of corporate social responsibility can’t be overstated, and we believe that it’s our duty to support the communities that we visit. By working in partnership with local organizations like AFAD, we can ensure that our donations are making the biggest impact possible.
We’re proud to be able to contribute in this way and hope to continue to support communities in need through our CSR initiatives.
Commitment to Responsible Citizenship
As a responsible corporate citizen, we prioritize supporting the communities we visit and call home. At Celestyal Cruises, we take this responsibility seriously and strive to make a positive impact on the places we travel to.
This commitment to corporate social responsibility is evident in our ethical business practices. We recently donated relief supplies to Turkey after the devastating earthquake. To ensure that our efforts have the greatest impact possible, we have implemented a multi-faceted approach to supporting the people of Turkey.
In addition to providing much-needed relief supplies, we’ll donate a portion of the revenues from shore excursions in Turkey to the relief effort. Finally, we’ll continue to work closely with local organizations to identify ways that we can support the long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts in the region. We believe that these efforts are crucial in demonstrating our commitment to responsible citizenship and making a positive impact on the world around us.
