“Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.!”

Tangalle Beach - Sri Lanka

Dear Trade Colleagues,

Good tidings have started to flow in!

The number of Covid-19 cases has drastically dropped in Sri Lanka, strict restrictions that were in place are being relaxed with every passing week, and visitors have started arriving in the country during the past months giving us reason to be cautiously jubilant. As usual, we are happy to report that all of Eco Team’s properties are prepped and ready to go with all of the mandated health protocols in place. We have also put together a whole host of feature-rich and unique adventures for you so that you have an unforgettable experience!

So without further ado, let’s get lost in a mountain reverie, treat your tummy with some Sweet Modakam and join our fight against climate change!

As always, I wish you and your clients an experiential journey and look forward to seeing you soon..
