Dear Trade Colleagues,
Welcome to ‘Journeys’ once again!
It’s springtime in Sri Lanka and in this chapter of ‘Journeys’, under Experiential Accommodation, we speak of a beautiful eco-friendly resort located in the southern part of the island, which is very closely connected with the ancient epic of the legendary Ramayana.
We’ve also come up with the concept of ‘Colombo by Jeep’ for your clients, and this tour style promises them a ‘real Sri Lankan experience’. We are sure that they will thoroughly enjoy every minute of this exciting and unique drive.
In June, we Sri Lankans celebrate ‘Poson Poya Day’, commemorating the arrival of Buddhism into Sri Lanka. It has very unique aspects such as the ‘Dansal’, which is a free distribution of various types of food items to everyone paying religious observances on that day. This is done on a very large scale in areas like Anuradhapura, and if your clients are lucky to travel with us during this time of the year, they will get to enjoy this unique experience.
Meet ‘Rahju’, the renowned painter of Sri Lankan-Norwegian descent, under ‘Hosts You Will Meet’, and get to know more about him and his simple life in a Kandyan village.
In terms of sustainability, you’ll be pleased to know that we’re making every effort we can to save the environment and make our planet a better place. We at Ex. Journeys are now recycling all our waste paper and PET Bottles (even the tiny amount we use), and we have just handed over 68 kgs of waste paper to our recycling partner.
You will also enjoy the ‘News from the Group’ section, where you will read about our 83 km canoeing journey in Kalu Ganga, from the renowned gem city of Ratnapura to the western coastal town of Kalutara.
The sunny isle of Sri Lanka has so much to offer...keep discovering and exploring with us!
