During Thursday’s trade, Shares of Carnival Corp (NYSE:CCL), gained 1.41% to $50.99.
Fathom, the pioneer in social impact travel and Carnival Corporation’s 10th and newest brand, unveiled a detailed projection of specific measurable milestones and anticipated benefits of its social impact activities in the Dominican Republic. The pioneer in social impact travel worked closely with leading community development organizations in the country to understand the specific needs in the northern region of the Dominican Republic. Fathom then collaborated with these organizations to develop detailed projections regarding the scale of impact it intends to create together with its partners, its traveler, and its communities.
According to Russell, while the Dominican Republic is a country of great beauty and rich culture, it is also a country of great need. The average household income is less than $6,000 USD and more than 3 million Dominicans do not have access to piped water. “However, the country does have a strong infrastructure that enables impact through Fathom partnerships with leading community development organizations,” she said.
Fathom has initially identified two lead impact partners in the Dominican Republic – Entrena and the Instituto Dominicano de Desarrollo Integral, Inc. (IDDI). Both organizations have deep roots in the country, counting long-established programs and strong social connections in the northern Dominican region. Fathom travelers will work alongside these proven, trusted local organizations on the ground to amplify their missions for far greater, sustained impact. Fathom continues to work alongside and listen to local community leaders and these organizations to measure and understand the impact being made by the company and its travelers.
