Dear Trade Colleague,

As the year draws to a close, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible memories, milestones, and connections we’ve made together. From the serene charm of the Ethili Village Experience, which won a prestigious award for its role in promoting community-based tourism, to the timeless elegance of The Bellwood Manor in Nuwara Eliya, we’ve been privileged to share the magic of Sri Lanka in its most authentic forms.

None of this would have been possible without passionate individuals like Amit Jayasundara, the heart behind the Ethili Village Experience. His dedication to sustainable tourism and his ability to connect people with the soul of Sri Lanka remind us of the transformative power of travel and shared experiences.

This festive season, we’re still glowing from the joy of our Christmas Bash 2024 at Waters Edge—a night filled with laughter, camaraderie, and gratitude for the incredible Eco Team spirit. It was a celebration of all we’ve achieved and the adventures that lie ahead as we step into 2025 with renewed passion and purpose.

Finally, we celebrate the remarkable milestone of Sri Lanka welcoming 2 million tourists, a testament to the world’s love for our island’s breathtaking beauty, vibrant culture, and unmatched hospitality.

As we embrace the spirit of the season, we send you our warmest wishes for a joyful holiday and a new year filled with adventures, success, and unforgettable moments.

Here’s to continuing this journey together and making 2025 another year to remember!
