"KumbukRiver put Sri Lanka on the global map for all the right
reasons at a trying time for the local tourism industry. We thought it
would be a good gesture to protect this eco resort which has brought
unprecedented fame to the country," said CEO/CMO - Amana Takaful Life
Reyaz Jeffrey.
"It is not every day that Sri Lanka produces a world-class brand and
it is just the kind of endorsement Sri Lankan tourism needed. Amana
Takaful Insurance is about partnerships that take care of one another,
bringing home to Sri Lanka a revolutionary insurance product hailed as
the world's most rewarding concept of insurance. So we thought of
extending our goodwill to a home-grown brand which has made Sri Lanka
proud," he said.
In a special insurance package tailor-made for KumbukRiver's
challenging and unique operation in Buttala, Amana Takaful Insurance now
covers its property, employees, as well as, visitors - both
international and local tourists. The 14-acre responsible tourism
initiative on the banks of Kumbukkan Oya, features among its facilities
a uniquely designed villa in the shape of a 40ft elephant. "It's a
wonderful gesture by Amana Takaful Insurance to make a commitment to an
enterprise which has beaten the odds in pushing Sri Lanka in the right
direction.
KumbukRiver is a pioneering venture and serves as a watchdog in the
conservation of the area's bio-diversity, especially considering its
close proximity to Yala. A magnificent gesture when a Sri Lankan
corporate volunteers its support; so we can continue to preserve this
international destination," said Managing Director of the resort Dinesh
Watawana which won the travel Oscar.
"Our quest is not just about business but to be the Sri Lankan
flag-bearer of a world-class concept and carry that message to the
people by also being part of what matters to the country and its
people," said Jeffrey.
