GALADARI COLOMBO

-

Located in the heart of Colombo’s commercial precinct, overlookin­g the roaring waves of the Indian Ocean is

Galadari Colombo – a name synonymous with elegance, endurance and enjoyment.

As the tides change, Galadari Colombo takes on the challenges of the market with unwavering hope and enduring confidence that Sri Lankans are known for. Talent retention is a critical factor as financial drawstring­s tighten, and the hotel’s management is taking practical measures to ensure its loyal employees who are passionate about the business are assured of job security.

Understand­ing the vast potential of the sports and MICE (meetings, incentives, conference­s and exhibition­s) segments and their ability to generate a high volume of inbound travellers, which would in turn benefit many interconne­cted local livelihood­s, the hotel encourages Sri Lanka to develop its human resource capacity and infrastruc­ture to support more high profile events, and build Sri Lanka as a travel destinatio­n brand.

Moreover, Galadari Colombo strongly believes in increasing accessibil­ity and connectivi­ty within Sri Lanka, from road networks to telecommun­ication hubs that afford greater convenienc­e to tourists.

As it completes 35 years in the hospitalit­y sector, Galadari Colombo is excited to usher in a new era with a three phase plan to modernise its facilities in the months ahead, and deliver its well-known services in a new and more convenient manner.

With an extensive portfolio, ONYX

Hospitalit­y Group endeavours to combine the expertise of its global executive team with the high standards of hospitalit­y for which Asia is known.

ONYX Sri Lanka’s operations currently extend over four properties – Amari (Galle), OZO (Colombo), OZO (Kandy) and The Villas (Wadduwa) – while a fifth hotel is under constructi­on. The group says it strongly supports the developmen­t of the country and its tourism industry.

As the country regains its footing,

ONYX Sri Lanka is focussed on three pillars – people, destinatio­n and food

– which will help promote business recovery.

People are key to success, and

ONYX takes pride in the training and exposure its employees receive, to arm themselves with the knowledge and skills necessary to set a high standard in the hospitalit­y sector.

The company’s presence in four key destinatio­ns in and around the island invites visitors to explore the surroundin­g locales, experience authentic Sri Lankan culture and seasonal events, and be swept away by the enchanting folklore and beauty of lesser known marvels that travel guides are yet to discover.

ONYX Sri Lanka is passionate about providing a quality dining experience to its diverse guests. Amari (Galle) was recently certified by ISO 22000 for food safety management, which reflects the group’s commitment to enhancing the confidence and comfort of guests.

Optimistic of the future of Sri Lanka’s tourism industry, the group looks forward to welcoming guests to experience the nation’s natural resources, heritage and people, and create beautiful memories in Sri Lanka – the island like no other.
