John Keells Group wins five Presidential Awards for travel and tourism

John Keells Holdings PLC, the largest player in the industry with over 2,100 rooms in Sri Lanka and the Maldives and the leader in Destination Management Services handling the largest number of tourist arrivals to the country has pioneered several innovations in the tourism sector.

With over 30 years of experience in hospitality services, in 2005 the Group embarked on a re-branding initiative and has launched two distinct home-grown brands; "Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts", an up-scale tier of hotels and "Chaaya Hotels and Resorts", an experience to holiday in with nature and the environment.

The John Keells Group Destination Management Companies were the first to expand into the region with very successful operations in the Maldives and India.
