Tripadvisor recognized Ocean Adventures and Columbus, brands of The Dolphin Company, during the Travelers’ Choice Awards 2023.

CANCUN, QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO, August 4, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — This year, Tripadvisor recognized two of the brands of The Dolphin Company family, operator of parks with a global presence, during the Travelers’ Choice Awards 2023 for the excellent comments that their visitors have written on the platform: Ocean Adventures, its marina in Punta Cana and Columbus Romantic Dinner Cruise, the romantic tour of Marina Aquatours located in Cancun.

Each year, Tripadvisor honors travelers’ favorite things to do, destinations, hotels, and restaurants worldwide, based on reviews and ratings collected over the past 12 months. In this way, the visitors decide who the Travelers’ Choice Awards winners are the best.

Ocean Adventures has been featured in a Tripadvisor award five times thanks to the incredible experiences that the marina offers, from an educational interaction with dolphins to various boat tours such as the iconic Caribbean Buccaneers in which attendees witness a pirate show and Ocean Spa in Punta Cana, the only time that offers relaxing massages on board a boat, among many other activities.

On the other hand, Marina Aquatours’ Columbus Romantic Dinner Cruise has been awarded for more than ten years; this is attributed to the concept of the tour since it is the only romantic tour in Cancun, which offers a tour of the Nichupté Lagoon aboard a Spanish Galleon where travelers can enjoy a delicious three-course dinner while listening to live saxophone music.

“We are very grateful to our visitors for recognizing the benefits of our two marinas: Ocean Adventures in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and Marina Aquatours in Cancun, Mexico, through the Columbus Romantic Dinner Cruise tour. This type of recognition inspires us to continue innovating our products so that our guests live the Experience of a Lifetime in any of the parks, habitats, and marinas that make up our family”, commented Claudia Sosa, Commercial Director of The Dolphin Company.

The Dolphin Company is a company that is characterized by offering a wide range of activities; its family is made up of dolphin habitats, multi-experience, adventure, aquatic and marine parks, which receive thousands of visitors a year.

About The Dolphin Company:

For more than 28 years, The Dolphin Company, an operator of parks with a global presence, has provided ‘The experience of a lifetime’ to more than 21 million visitors in its more than 30 parks, dolphin habitats, and marinas around the world. With a presence in Mexico, the Caribbean, the United States, Argentina, and Italy, The Dolphin Company offers exciting activities that provide unique and memorable experiences while raising awareness among its visitors about the importance of animal welfare.

Children’s Museum of Tacoma, the home of the Monarch Diaper Bank

Monarch Diaper Bank at the Children’s Museum of Tacoma

New diaper bank provides 5-day diapering supplies in downtown Tacoma, WA

TACOMA, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — On August 17, 2023, Greentrike will launch the Monarch Diaper Bank at the Children’s Museum of Tacoma. The Monarch Diaper Bank provides free diapering supplies for families to pick up at the Children’s Museum of Tacoma during operational hours on Thursdays and Saturdays. Families are invited to receive a 5-day supply of diapers and a package of wipes per child in addition to enjoying Pay as You Will Admission to play inside the Museum.

The Monarch Diaper Bank will be located in the Children’s Museum of Tacoma lobby, and families can collect supplies without any registration requirements. Optional online surveys will be available for guests of the Diaper Bank to help Greentrike improve services.

The launch of the Diaper Bank is currently a pilot program for two days a week. A plan for future expansion includes increasing the number of operational days and opening a second location at the Children’s Museum at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

“A diaper bank is not something commonly found inside a children’s museum, but it makes so much sense for us given Greentrike’s mission, commitment to access, and partnership with families,” said Alyssa Tongue, learning experience director at Greentrike. “We’re thrilled to welcome families into our doors to pick up the supplies they need while they play, learn, and create.”

Children’s museums are renowned local destinations and community resources, making the Children’s Museum of Tacoma the natural choice for the Monarch Diaper Bank’s home. The location of the diaper bank provides families already visiting the Museum with access to diapering resources while offering those visiting for supplies a chance to partake in the Museum’s playscapes, learning programs, events, and creative experiences.

The Monarch Diaper Bank was established by Maxine McCallum to honor her child, Arlo. Maxine shared, “In 2018, we lost our son to stillbirth. Since then, we have strived to create a legacy for him that he was not able to leave himself.”

Thus, Maxine was driven to action by hosting a diaper drive each year to help collect diapering supplies for local nonprofit organizations — much-needed supplies that one in three families in the U.S. struggle to provide for their children.

“Diapers are as essential to a child’s well-being as food and shelter are, yet state and safety net programs do not recognize them as a basic need,” said Maxine. “As a mother, I cannot imagine not being able to change my child’s diaper as needed.”

Donations from the Monarch Benefit Show and Diaper Drive provided funding to launch the Monarch Diaper Bank at the Children’s Museum of Tacoma. Greentrike is proud to provide a space for the Diaper Bank and support fundraising for this vital need for families in the community. To donate, please visit
