Sri Lanka Tourism Awards 2024 edition debuts

Sri Lanka Tourism recently announced the 7th edition of the National Tourism Awards, celebrating excellence and outstanding contribution.

The objective is to promote and enhance service standards, encourage best practices, and foster a culture of excellence and innovation within the industry. By acknowledging the achievements of individuals and organisations, Sri Lanka Tourism aims to inspire others to contribute to the sustainable development of tourism in Sri Lanka.

The first ever National Travel and Tourism Award was held in 2008. Since then, this annual event has been gathering momentum with more participation and recognition of new products and services. The last event was held in 2018 making a significant celebration of excellence within the industry. The subsequent occurrences such as Easter Sunday Attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the continuity of the prestigious event. It is in this context that Sri Lanka Tourism proudly presents Sri Lanka Tourism Awards 2024. 

The awards encompass a wide range of categories to ensure every facet of the tourism industry is recognised. 

These categories cover various sectors including accommodation, restaurants, tour operators, airlines, MICE tourism, marketing communications, education and training, events, excellence in service, etc. 

Detailed information are available on its website tourismawards.lk.

Application process: Applications and relevant information can be downloaded from the website www.tourismawards.lk

Submissions are open from 15 August to 15 September 2024.
