The Sri Lanka Tourism Excellence Awards 2026 has been launched as a prestigious national initiative to honour outstanding achievements across the tourism and hospitality sector. The Awards will recognise exceptional performers in various categories, including service excellence, customer experience, product quality, innovation, sustainability, operational excellence, and leadership.

Developed using internationally recognised best practices, the evaluation framework assesses participants across seven key dimensions.

The Awards Gala, scheduled for January 2027, is expected to be a premier tourism event, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, business executives, sponsors, media representatives, and distinguished guests.
