Hôtel de la Paix is delighted to announce that a recent initiative in collaboration with MasterCard Worldwide has resulted in the provision of 500 school bags and bicycles for needy children living in the outlying villages around Siem Reap, Cambodia, making it possible for them to get to school.

Cambodia’s iconic Hôtel de la Paix has once again teamed up with MasterCard Worldwide to raise much-needed funds to buy bicycles for needy children living in the outlying villages around Siem Reap, improving access to education for hundreds of kids. Until the end of 2009, any transaction at - or booking for - Hôtel de la Paix paid for with a MasterCard will see a bicycle and school bag donated as part of the ‘Purchase with Purpose’ scheme, ensuring even more local children can get themselves, and their books, to school.

MasterCard Worldwide and Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) are launching a global, card-based enhanced travel data program for corporate travel buyers.
