Sri Lanka’s Santani Spa and Resorts wins gold award for Best in the World for Wellness
Santani Spa and Resorts of Sri Lanka has reportedly won the gold award for the Best in the World for Wellness at a celebrity event held at London on Tuesday (5).
The Sri Lanka Tourism Promotions Bureau (SLTPB) has celebrated this massive accolade for Sri Lanka in London at its stand at WTM 2019.
According to media reports, the 2019 International Travel and Tourism Awards winners, which celebrates excellence in the tourism industry, was announced in London.
Individuals, small businesses and large organisations from15 categories have been awarded with gold, silver and highly commended awards and the event was reportedly witnessed by a capacity audience of some 500 senior industry professionals.
SLTPB Managing Director Charmarie Maelge has been quoted in the local media saying, “It is an incredible global recognition for Sri Lanka; the Gold award won by Santani says that they are the best in the world for wellness and spa surpassing all the other large number of contenders worldwide. This outstanding recognition achieved by Santani certainly will help Sri Lanka as a destination to strongly amplify our presence as a wellness destination.”
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s Cinnamon Hotels has won the Most Commended award for its digital marketing efforts, which is also an accomplishment of great prestige.
OSL take:
Sri Lanka’s tourism sector is on a continuous growth path in the past few years and has even shown an impressive return to normalcy following the setback suffered in the Easter Sunday attacks in April. Tourist arrivals are on the increase and Sri Lanka continues to maintain the top slot as the destination of the year in several key global travel publications. The award won by a Sri Lankan resort and spa in London is yet another indication of the high level of tourist resorts in the country. Foreign businesses/investors could therefore explore business opportunities in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry.
