Resplendent
Managing Director of Ceylon Malik Fernando said: "We celebrate Ceylon Tea
Trails listed among the world's best resorts. Ceylon Tea Trails was pioneering
the idea of luxury tourism in Sri Lanka. This journey began when we began to
think about ways to show visitors from abroad our beautiful Ceylon tea country.
As our guests expressed to us how much they enjoyed their experience of the Tea
Trails, we agreed to grow and to establish Resplendent Ceylon. We aim to
continue to be industry pioneers and give the interested traveller a variety of
experiences related to the history, culture and nature of Sri Lanka."
Ceylon Tea
Trails includes five restored historic tea planters bungalows, Summerville,
Castlereagh, Dunkeld, Norwood, and Tientsin, situated in the picturesque
highland area of Sri Lanka at an altitude of 1250 metres. The 27 rooms and
suites featuring period furnishings, gracious butler service and gourmet
cuisine create an atmosphere that has made Tea Trails Sri Lanka the gold
standard for luxury.
Cape Weligama
and Wild Coast Tented Inn Yala set a fresh trend for luxury beach resorts and
luxury safari lodges respectively, the 15-year journey that began with Ceylon
Tea Trails. Cape Weligama has become one of the world's most famous beach
resorts, included in Harper's Bazaar list of 150 best hotels.
Wild Coast
Tented Lodge Yala is a leader in sustainable design and practise, and its
creative architecture has won accolades. Most recently, Escape.com named it as
one of six resorts with the world's best sustainable practices.
Sri Lanka's
tourism business is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the country
with many business/investment opportunities. Sri Lanka has enjoyed top positions
in many globally renowned travel publications as a must-visit destination. Hence
all of these factors have resulted in many leading global brands in the
leisure, hospitality and leisure industry sectors showing interest in Sri
Lanka.
Also, the
development of Sri Lanka's tourism industry will receive a further impetus by
the productivity of Sri Lankan authorities to suppress the spread of COVID 19,
making Sri Lanka a safe travel destination. Overseas businesses/investors could,
therefore, explore business/financing opportunities in Sri Lanka's tourism
industry.
OSL Take: Sri
Lanka's tourism authorities have commenced promotional campaigns to attract
visitors to the country following the setback faced COVID19. The administration
of Sri Lanka has already introduced a relief platform to the tourism sector.
Given all these developments, the country's tourism industry is showing signs
of revival. Many foreign investors have already expressed confidence in the
country's tourism industry, and it's growth potential. Therefore, international
businesses/investors could explore business/investment opportunities in Sri
Lanka's tourism sector.
