Blue Lanka Tours hits milestone of 2500 Tripadvisor reviews, setting a new standard for Sri Lankan tourism
Blue Lanka Tours has become the first Sri Lankan tour operator to reach 2500 Tripadvisor reviews, with an impressive streak of 5-star ratings, said a release.
It sad that this achievement comes as a testament to the company’s commitment to high-quality, personalized tourism experiences. Despite the challenges faced by Sri Lanka’s tourism sector between 2019-2022, Blue Lanka Tours has maintained its dedication to customer satisfaction.
Founder Dinesh N Perera credited their success to a customer-centric approach, focusing on creating lasting memories for travellers. Beyond tourism, Blue Lanka Tours is also committed to social responsibility, with initiatives like Blooming Smiles and Island Sanctuary, supporting education and wildlife conservation across Sri Lanka.
Perera said: “It is a simple concept executed with commitment by all of us. We want everyone who books their travels with us to enjoy their time on the island and leave with beautiful, cherishable memories. Our operation is customer-centric. We put effort into every bit of detail to make every itinerary perfect. We see our clients not as tourists but as travellers with a universal sense of wonder and adventure who want to discover the extraordinary and authentic that make their travels worth every penny and air mile. We also want them to learn how remarkable Sri Lanka is, not just the landscape but also the people and culture.”
Blue Lanka Tours also advocates animal welfare with Island Sanctuary by collaborating with operators, service providers, communities and organisations that protect wildlife and improve the lives of animals in Sri Lanka. BLT actively supports wildlife corridors and safe passage projects, elephant bypass electric fences projects, wildlife rescue & rehabilitation centres, habitat restoration and protection and anti-poaching initiatives.
