Sri Lanka’s strategic placement on the world map has meant that travellers from around the world have made their way to our golden beaches for centuries. In modern times we are vying to reach the former glory of being a hub for travellers, both business and leisure. Uniquely blessed with a multitude of experiences within a short land mass, Sri Lanka boasts the ability to present the chilly air of the mountains or the tropical heat of the coast, go trekking or diving underwater, all in one paradise isle. This versatility and diversity has been the backbone of the tourism industry and triggered its accelerated growth. Today’s travellers though are looking for so much more in terms of one-of-a-kind offerings that create lifelong memories.

The usual tendency within the tourism industry is to promote and specialise in areas and attractions within the country that are already booming with popularity. Eco Team strives to divert from this and give visitors to the country and travel enthusiast Sri Lankans, a different perspective of our little island while also empowering communities. With Eco Team, travellers can see this dream come to reality.

Not only does this enlighten the tourist, simultaneously it empowers the locals, which is a paramount belief of Eco-team.

Sri Lanka is synonymous with various words and symbols; however no conversation on Sri Lanka is complete without mentioning of the majestic elephants of the country.

The eco team provides a special up close and personal experience with elephants, in the ‘spend a day with the elephants’ package, allowing tourists to interact and observe elephants not from afar but by physically taking part in their daily rituals. Eco Team supplements tourist desires by allowing them to bathe the elephants and ‘dine’ with the elephant after which the tourists will have colourful conversations and be ambassadors of our island country.
