The “Thal Sevana Holiday Resort’ in Jaffna was awarded a Gold medal and named “ International Star for Leadership in Quality Award,” at a function held in France by beating 188 holiday resorts throughout the world.

Jaffna Commander Major General Mahinda Hathurusinghe and other senior officials of the hotel received the award at a function.

The Thal Sevana Holiday resort which had been popular among local and foreign tourists, including state guests, diplomats and ambassadors who travelled in the Northern region of the country.

The objective of establishing the resort in the Jaffna peninsular, had been to facilitate the members of the Armed Forces, their families and civilians who wished to spend their holidays in Jaffna. As the influx of tourists had increased tremendously, the magnificent two-storied bungalow had emerged at the same site of the former Thal Sevana, with many modifications such as air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned spacious rooms, a balcony with a panoramic view of the sea, restaurant and bar facilities.

The resort had been constructed on a concept of Jaffna Commander Major General Mahinda Hathurusinghe.
