SriLankan Airlines was crowned the “World's Leading Airline Operating to the Indian Ocean Region in 2016” at the prestigious 23rd annual World Travel Awards held last week in Maldives.
Just a few weeks ago SriLankan received the title of “Best Full Service Airline in Central and South Asia” for the second consecutive year at the Future Travel Experience Asia Awards 2016 in Singapore.
The World Travel Awards was established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry.
Its winners are recognised as the benchmark to which all others aspire in categories which include airlines, airports, tour operators, airline alliances, hotels and resorts, vehicle rental companies, cruise lines, restaurants, travel apps and websites, all types of service providers, destination cities and even countries.
The awards took into consideration the preferences of more than 1.1 million travelers and persons in the global travel industry who voted online throughout 2016.
