Proving once again that the Jetwing brand of traditional Sri Lankan hospitality is the group’s greatest strength, Jetwing Hotels has been awarded 10 new Certificates of Excellence from the world’s largest travel site, TripAdvisor. Having received eight last year, the following Jetwing hotels were certified recently: Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions, Jetwing Beach, Jetwing Blue, Jetwing Lagoon, Jetwing Sea, Haridra Resort & Spa by Jetwing, Era Beach by Jetwing, Jetwing Lighthouse, Jetwing Warwick Gardens, and Jetwing Vil Uyana.

An accomplishment in its own right, the 10 Certificates of Excellence mark Jetwing Hotels as one of the most acclaimed resort chains in Sri Lanka. The criteria for the certificates are simple, yet complex as they require a consistent high ranking in quality reviews as well as user rating. The vision set forth 40 years ago has undeniably grown, with this family owned company embarking on a remarkable expansion drive to double room inventory within the next three years.

“A post on TripAdvisor is highly respected in the travel community, which makes the 10 Certificates of Excellence that much sweeter,” said Jetwing Chairman Hiran Cooray. “With the growth of the internet and its ability to connect anyone anywhere, reviews are important as they allow us to see a visitor’s perspective and adapt accordingly. With 10 of our 16 properties having Certificates of Excellence, I look forward to achieving the same status for all our hotels”.

TripAdvisor is the world’s largest travel site, enabling travellers to plan and have the perfect trip. TripAdvisor offers trusted advice from real travellers and a wide variety of travel choices and planning features (including flight search, TripAdvisor Mobile and TripAdvisor Trip Friends) with seamless links to booking tools. TripAdvisor-branded sites alone make up the largest travel community in the world, with more than 40 million unique monthly visitors, 20 million members, and over 45 million reviews and opinions. The sites operate in 29 countries worldwide.

Family owned and in the tourism industry for the past 40 years, Jetwing Hotels have surpassed expectations in every aspect. Building on their foundation of being passionate, as well as the experience of true, traditional Sri Lankan hospitality and constantly pioneering discoveries captures the essence of the brand. Such a strong statement and direction have enabled Jetwing Hotels to imagine, create and manage marvels and masterpieces, where distinctive design and elegant comfort complement each other and the environment.
