Excellence Awards 2016 for Tour Guides held at Country Feeling Holidays

In 2016, Country Feeling Holidays celebrates seven years of existence in the tourism industry as an inbound agent and they have initiated many esteemed projects to celebrate this remarkable success. 

One of most respected projects was the ‘Excellence Awards 2016 for CFH Tour Guides’ held on 29 October at their Moratuwa office in the presence of Managing Director and CEO Dilshan de Silva, Operations Director Himalika de Silva and the rest of the directors as well as staff.

On this day, they recognised the excellent services of two tour guides, Ajith Premaratne and Dayaratne as well as Arosha Wijesekara who is an escort, a professional tour guide to be. Selection was a very tough call since the organisation has a very talented and professional team of French speaking tour guides working for them since years, however the decision was presented after many thorough analysis on their performances during 2013 to 2016. This ceremony appreciated the genuine hard work and added more value to their dedication as well as passion for the job. 

Amitha Dissanayake who is now enjoying her retirement, a pioneer in this profession, was also recognised during a function at a later date for her extraordinary loyal contribution to the organisation. Country Feeling Holidays mainly handles customers travelling from France with numerous well-established regular operations with a carefully selected team of guides and accompaniers. 

It was a very unique mission appreciating the dedicated services of these individuals with a prestigious award and a cash prize of Rs. 50,000 each. Dissanayake was awarded with a special medical scheme of Rs. 7,000 per month for a period of 12 months. 

CFH set the right example to the industry that tour guides play a vital role and the right individuals should be well taken care of honouring their professional efforts. Award ceremony concluded serving the invitees with a cocktail party that made the evening a wonderful moment of celebrations to everyone.
