Royal Palms Beach Hotel, Kalutara once again proved its place among Sri Lanka’s finest, securing a Merit Award in the Hospitality and Tourism category at the National Business Excellence Awards 2025 (NBEA). This marks its third recognition at the NBEA, following a category win in 2024 and a Merit Award in 2018 under the same category. The National Business Excellence Awards (NBEA), organised by the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka, is the country’s premier benchmark competition, recognising outstanding organisational performance for the past two decades. This prestigious platform honours businesses that demonstrate global standards of excellence, inspiring continuous improvement while contributing to Sri Lanka’s socio-economic progress. The NBEA’s evaluation framework (the NBEA Excellence Model) assesses enterprises across multiple dimensions, including corporate governance, capacity building, performance management, global and local market reach, corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability, and business and financial results. Its rigorous and transparent process ensures that winners truly represent the pinnacle of quality, innovation, and sustainable business practices.
