Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts were the big winners of the night

Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts swept away six awards at the Sri Lanka Tourism Awards 2018 held recently where they were recognized for the unique initiatives that contributed to the hospitality industry. 

Cinnamon was the only brand to win more than two awards  in all categories which were intensely fought by all leading leisure brands in the country. 

The Sri Lanka Tourism Award 2018 honoured organizations and individuals for their contribution towards Sri Lanka’s tourism industry and Cinnamon was rewarded for excellence in the six categories; The Best Tourism Promotion Campaign, The Best Print Media Presentation on Travel & Tourism, The Best Five Star City Hotel, The Best 3-Star Hotel, The Best Themed Cuisine Restaurant, and The Best Conservationist/ Naturalist Award.

Dileep Mudadeniya, Vice President John Keells Group, Head of Brand Marketing, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts and CEO Cinnamon Life Mall said, “We believe in creating experiences outside of our core requirement as a hospitality group to present Sri Lanka as the destination for travel for more reasons than one. Sri Lanka, while being known as a tropical island, should now be elevated to a place to visit for entertainment and destination events such as weddings and simultaneously be known as a socially responsible destination. The brand Cinnamon aims to set new standards to hospitality in the country in order to create a unique proposition for Sri Lanka as an island that offers myriad activities for the international visitor.”
