Amari Galle is proud to have been chosen as the official host hotel of the South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) Gala 2019. The awards gala is scheduled to take place on 19 and 20 September.
“Following the recent incident in the country which affected the entire economy, we continue to work as one united industry to ride the aftershocks. Sri Lanka has been named a top destination for travel in 2019 by Lonely Planet and readers of Travel & Leisure who have voted Sri Lanka as the world’s best island destination. I commend the SATA committee for choosing Sri Lanka to host the awards, an initiative I believe will contribute to positive international perceptions of Sri Lanka and feature the best of South Asian hospitality to the world,” said ONYX Hospitality Group Area General Manager Russell Cool. “The Meeting and Incentive segment has a huge impact on the industry growth and economic development. With its strategic location and facilities, Amari Galle is fully equipped to accommodate events of this magnitude. An event such as the SATA awards will bring back the confidence in the people and will be beneficial not only for the hotels but the economy as it helps reshape international perception of this beautiful destination,” said Amari Galle General Manager Puneet Dutta.
