About Us
Our Story

In 2014, two leaders in the local tourism industry – Red Dot Tours and Sri Lanka in Style – embarked on a joint venture to act as a tour operator for foreign agencies selling Sri Lanka holidays. Combining their decades of knowledge and experience allowed the companies to provide unparalleled expertise, services, and creativity under the umbrella of The Fabulous Getaway.
