Dear Trade Colleagues,
Greetings from the team at ExJ!
I hope this newsletter finds you, your family and your teams well. Despite the lockdowns and curfews faced by all of us in the past few weeks, I am happy to see that things are starting to look up during these bleak times. We may have not recovered fully, but this is a step forward in the right direction.
This month we come to you with a few new additions to our journey of experiences - starting with Kevan’s Casa, a boutique hotel very close to Dambana; a village which is the home to the local indegenous tribe known as ‘veddahs’. We are also pleased to introduce our guests to the beautiful and intricate art of hand embroidery. Next, we are happy to introduce you to Sameera, our featured local host for the month. He hails from an agricultural family, but found his true calling and passion in nature.
During these times, our team members continue to work from the safety of their homes while working on new plans to create new experiences for our guests for the coming months. In the meantime, we have a few of our staff members stationed in our camps, lodges and hotels around the island and they make it a point to growing fruits and vegetables in our own premises.
