sri lanka tourism

Today we’re bringing you one of the most important podcast episodes we’ve recorded in a while.

We’ve all seen images of Sri Lanka on the news recently amid the turmoil of the ongoing economic crisis which the island is going through, but what is the reality behind the click bait headlines?  Are there any tourists in Sri Lanka now? What is the experience like? Is it safe to travel to Sri Lanka? And indeed, is it right to travel to Sri Lanka at the moment?

We caught up with Sri Lankan local, Chalana Perera from Retrace Hospitality who is on the ground in Sri Lanka as he paints an accurate picture of the blossoming, truly regenerative, tourism which is happening just now.

Have a listen and prepare to be very pleasantly surprised…

Huge thanks as always to Chalana for his brilliant insights today and if, like me, you are seriously tempted by the tourism offering which Chalana spoke about, then please do ask your travel agent or tour operator about their trips to Sri Lanka just now.  It may lead to the greatest journey of discovery you have ever had…

And if you’d like to learn more about the low season summer months in Sri Lanka, check out the latest edition of Low Season Traveller Magazine which releases in the coming days right here on lowseasontraveller.com

Have a great week wherever you are, stay healthy, stay safe, keep your travel dreams alive and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to be the first to hear our latest low season stories and guides.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Low Season Traveller Insider Guides.

Today we're delighted to be joined by Chalana Perera who is the Founder of Retrace Hospitality in Sri Lanka.

Now, Chalana has been a friend of Low Season Traveller for quite some time and when you hear from him, we think you’ll see why.

Chalana is on a mission to help hospitality businesses progress with purpose. He partners with investors, developers and operators to regenerate long-term value by repositioning real estate and hospitality assets. 
He founded RETRACE Hospitality with a conviction to prioritise responsible business practices, embracing regeneration as a catalyst for change in hospitality development.

He is dedicated to the promotion of Sri Lanka as a truly sustainable destination and we are so proud to call him a friend of low season traveller.

So let’s hear from the man himself as we welcome Chalana to the podcast to tell us all about the wonderful low seasons in his home in the Indian Ocean….
