Anyone can put a few Sri Lanka hotels in a brochure, or
design an attractive website, and proclaim themselves
as experts. Anyone, too, can air their views on consumer
websites.
But Red Dot really does specialise in Sri Lanka holidays
– combining that only with the neighbouring attractions
of Kerala and the Maldives.
We are enthusiastic Sri Lankaphiles, exploring this
beautiful island in the Indian Ocean with perpetual
delight. Please read below to discover why we are a
company to trust for your holiday arrangements.
Value and commitment
Our holiday planning takes place primarily in Colombo.
We can offer you such competitive prices that there
is no point struggling on alone. And our customer feedback
suggests that our commitment to our customers has become
widely appreciated.
Trust Red Dot, and your money will not subsidise plush
UK offices, large secretarial staffs or expensive brochures.
Rest assured, we will spend your money where it really
matters - in the country that you plan to tour.
Explore the Red Dot site and you can find a host of
information on just about every aspect of your Sri Lanka
holiday – and, if you can’t find it, just
ask us.
Reduce the risk of fraud:
The UK Foreign Office website warns of increased
dangers of credit card fraud for independent travellers
in many parts of the world -- including Sri Lanka. Reduce
that risk by booking with Red Dot. We will protect you
without cramping your style.
Credit/debit card payments are made on our HSBC secure
epayments system and the company is unique in Sri Lanka
in operating under a clearly-stated anti-fraud
code to protect your personal information to the fullest
extent. Read more about this in the Booking Information
section on our website or ask your personal consultant
for details.
Knowledge
Specialising in Sri Lanka gives us a distinct edge.
And the feedback we receive -- not just from Red Dot
holidaymakers but during our daily involvement in Sri
Lankan life -- enables us to constantly enhance our
holiday programme.
We do not just visit Sri Lanka occasionally, whizzing
around the island to check out a few new hotels. We
live and breathe Sri Lanka. Our mix of Sri Lankan and
English consultants know the country intimately. We
are always eager for new discoveries. We work ceaselessly
provide the profiles, the pictures, and the assessments
that some fake competitors have been known to steal.
Relationships
We have a trusting and supportive relationship with
accommodation owners and countless others involved in
the holiday trade, and we recognise the importance of
fairly representing our clients with these suppliers
at all times.
Fair policy on refunds
Red Dot values your personal safety and we
have a clearly-stated refunds policy in the event of
an outbreak of terrorism. Sri Lanka has had a troubled
history -- and travel insurance policies often give
inadequate cover. If the UK Foreign office (or, in the
case of non-UK travellers, their own government body)
advises against travel to any of your destinations,
we guarantee the following refunds in event of cancellation:
One month or more before travel: 100 per cent. Less
than one month: 90 per cent. During your holiday: All
recoverable costs. Furthermore, we voluntarily return
all recoverable costs in the event of all cancellations.
Peace of mind
For your extra peace of mind, Red Dot is a
UK limited company, operating under EC travel regulations.
Fly with us from the UK and you gain the benefit of
full ATOL protection on all flight-related holiday.

But we cater for independently-minded travellers from
anywhere in the world. All Red Dot's bookings operate
under clearly-stated, legally-acceptable booking conditions
- unlike some of our rivals who act merely as facilitators
and accept no legal responsibility.
Flexibility and independence
Whatever your requirements, we always strive to tailor
your itinerary to your own wishes. We recognise the
yearning of many independently-minded travellers to
experience Sri Lanka "unpackaged."
We offer total flexibility. Whether you are looking
for a full holiday package or just a night in a favourite
hotel, we will provide knowledgeable and independent
advice and committed personal service.
Spoiled for choice
No company offers a more varied choice of Sri
Lanka hotels than Red Dot -- from rural hideaways to
favourite beach haunts. All of them are checked and
assessed on a regular basis.
Our island tours can possess the extra little touches
that will bring them alive. Our highly-regarded drivers
operate under a Red Dot code encouraging good practice
between driver and client. We can also offer self-drive
car hire, train travel or (for the luxury traveller)
an internal sea plane or helicopter service.
Our range of itineraries is unrivalled:
| * |
Luxury tours: an enticing selection
of opulent villas, stylish hill-country retreats
or boutique hotels. |
| * |
Sports holidays such as cricket golf, cycling
and horse safaris. |
| * |
Nature holidays such as wildlife safaris, island
treks, birdwatching or fishing. |
| * |
Adventure holidays that might take you surfing,
hot-air ballooning or white-water rafting. |
| * |
Weddings and honeymoons. |
| * |
Holidays in accommodation ranging from exclusive
villas and boutique hotels to hill-country bungalows,
family beach hotels to backpackers' haunts. |
You might wish to consider Sri Lanka as a chance to explore
the vestiges of colonialism, or as an island that can
offer you a full body-and-mind MOT with its centuries
of experience in Buddhist philosophy, meditation and Ayurvedic
treatments. The choice is yours. Ask Three Simple Questions
Booking a holiday has never been more confusing. The Internet
is awash with travel companies promising to end the days
of the traditional High Street travel shop. The choice
seems limitless.
But ask yourself these three simple questions:
| (i) |
Does
the company really have a specialist knowledge of
Sri Lanka? |
| (ii) |
Does the company
offer proper booking conditions and official licensing
that you can trust? |
| (iii) |
Will the company respond flexibly
to your individual needs? |
