The Pekoe Trail honored with the Best Wider World Tourism Project award
Ceylon Tea coming from the resplendent island nation, Sri Lanka is recognized for her well balanced tasting profile by tea connoisseurs all over the globe. It is always a great pleasure walking along lush green Sri Lankan tea gardens. Both tea and tourism are two of the major foreign income generators for Sri Lanka. The nation can achieve plenty of benefits, if both these industries are combined together. Tea-Tourism is a concept followed by tea growing countries to gain more benefits and income to growers and even for tea plantation workers. The Pekoe Trail is one of the companies which makes use of this golden opportunity though they are facilitators. As The Pekoe Trail had reported on their official Facebook page, the company is thrilled to announce that Sri Lanka was honored with the Best Wider World Tourism Project award in London at the prestigious British Guild of Travel Writers International Awards 2023.
This award validates the efforts of @euinslandmv and @usaid Sri Lanka to revive the local tourism industry by innovating and celebrating authentic travel to attract travelers keen to explore Sri Lanka on foot.
The Pekoe Trails thanks all their partners who make this Trail possible including @destination_srilanka , the tea industry and plantations companies. The company thanks specially to those who nominated The Pekoe Trail and the British media for their unstinted support.
About The Pekoe Trail
This is Sri Lanka’s first long-distance hiking trail walk along the Tea Country in the Central Highlands. It is a 300+km, long-distance walking. As the first of hopefully many long – distance walking trails in Sri Lanka, it is made up of 22 stages, which can be completed in short sections, or as part of a multi-day experience taking visitors through an eclectic mix of hilltowns, tea plantations, remote villages, sanctuaries, viewpoints, forests, and cultural and historical locations.
The interconnecting trail demonstrates the island’s diversity, encourages sustainable travel and brings economic opportunity to rural communities in order to promote a more holistic traveler experience that embraces adventure, nature, wellness, and sustainability.
