Four Seasons Hotels Passports with Purpose Extravaganza

Welcome to Passports with Purpose 2013, the annual travel blogger fundraiser that supports communities around the world. From Cambodia to India to Zambia, this collaborative effort around the holidays changes lives, and we’re proud to be part of it!

This year’s efforts will focus on raising $115,000 for buildOn.org, who will construct three schools and fund three adult literacy programs in the Sikasso region of southern Mali, Africa.

We work with the world’s best travel brands on Ciao Bambino and we always invite one partner to sponsor an incredible Passports with Purpose prize. This year may be the most exciting one yet as our friends at Four Seasons Hotels have sponsored not just one, but TWO prizes!

There are few things I love more than a stay at a Four Seasons. I’ve experienced 16 of their hotels on four continents to date; they are second to none when it comes to the art of the extraordinary experience, from their grand public areas to their exceptional service. And their hotelier talent extends to families!  Have Family Will Travel, the Four Seasons family travel site, is filled with stories and tips from kid-focused experiences around the world.
