The prestigious annual event was organised by the National Entrepreneurship Development Authority and the District Chamber of Commerce and Industries of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Athukorale had previously bagged the Gold Award of the same category in 2017. 

When it comes to convenient and comfortable lodging, Sungreen Resort and Spa has attracted both foreign and local tourists over the years. All forty of the comfortable rooms, categorised as Deluxe, Family and Suite, have a picturesque view of the Ritigala Mountain. Each room has Wi-Fi and a mini-bar plus modern facilities, with a balcony to relax in while enjoying the natural beauty of the surroundings. One of the top priorities of Sungreen Resort is to treat all visitors with non-toxic organic fruits and vegetables. 

The hotel maintains an organic farm of fruits and vegetables in their garden to meet this requirement. Another specialty is a hike to Ritigala Mountain which can be arranged with all required facilities from the hotel. The cultural sites of Sigiriya, Dambulla, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are also destinations easily accessible from this location. Wildlife enthusiasts can go on safari to nearby Minneriya, Kaudulla and Wasgamuwa national parks.  According to Sungreen Hotel and Spa General Manager Sanjeewa Indika Wijesinghe, Sungreen Resort has recruited more than 50% of its staff from the neighbouring areas, and runs a number of local CSR projects.
