Sri Lanka’s tourism industry has recorded another success story as Blue Lanka Tours, the award-winning, homegrown destination management company, surpasses 3,000 reviews on Tripadvisor, earning nearly all five-star ratings.
The company is the island’s most proactive voice and advocate for responsible tourism, crafting tailor-made tours with a low eco footprint and high social impact.
Blue Lanka Tours’ successive accolades and achievements on the international stage underscore a long-standing commitment to responsible tourism, authentic experiences, bespoke travel, and community-driven initiatives that strongly resonate with international travellers.
The company makes it a mission to strengthen its position as a leader in sustainable and responsible tourism. Last year, the company was awarded the SMEs Sustainable Tourism Certificate, which simultaneously earns it the Good Travel Seal. This year, Blue Lanka Tours became a corporate member of the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS) of Sri Lanka.
Founder and Managing Director, Dinesh N. Perera, attributed the success to a larger purpose that goes beyond operational excellence. “Reaching over 3,000 Tripadvisor reviews - almost all of them five stars - is incredibly humbling. We always make our dedication to meaningful travel clear. It is in the way we choose attractions, properties, and experiences. We align our offerings with responsible tourism goals to add genuine value to communities. Travellers feel the difference when we make conscious decisions to be gentle on the environment and uplift cultural recognition. They know when local people benefit directly from tourism. It is in the quality and authenticity of their experiences. Travel stories should be guilt-free and only enriching,” he said.
