5 December 2019, Hong Kong SAR, China – Ms. Helen Tan is the Hotel Manager of Marco Polo Hotels - Hong Kong. She loves sports, especially running and recently successfully challenged herself to complete a 250km desert marathon.

In late September, Ms. Tan travelled to Chile to participate in the annual Atacama Crossing marathon. Participants were required to cross the 250-kilometer desert within 7 days, including running a full marathon in under a day. Despite an ankle injury in the first stage, Ms. Tan persevered and completed the marathon, personally demonstrating the spirit of the Marco Polo Hotels — Explore, Discover and Experience. Exploring the world, discovering her limits and experiencing new challenges.

"Make life as pleasant as you can." Ms. Tan challenges herself to live her true self. She embodies the ethos of discovery, creating unique experiences and drawing on the key philosophies of its namesake, Marco Polo: the explorer, global traveller, entrepreneur and connoisseur of culture.

At her job, Ms. Tan also demonstrates perseverance and creativity. "I am convinced that Ms. Tan's leadership, her unyielding spirit and her work experience in international hotels will surely unite the staff of the three Marco Polo hotels in Hong Kong to provide the perfect accommodation for the travellers.” Marco Polo Hotels - Hong Kong’s General Manager, Mr. Dalip Singh said.
