Dear Trade Colleagues,

Cautious optimism is the mantra of the times here in Sri Lanka. Restrictions for locals to move about have been relaxed and visitors to the country are being encouraged to come over once again - albeit with conditions on vaccinations and countries of origin, but the outlook is optimistic and that bodes well for everyone! Level 1 accommodations are prepped and ready and we’re looking forward to getting back on track very soon. So when you make your way down here, let the safari come to you on the banks of a reservoir, elevate your mind deep within the heart of a National Park and learn how to smash through invisible barriers and forge your own path!

I wish you and your clients an experiential journey and look forward to welcoming you all soon!
