Why retrace hospitality?
In December of 2020, following three decades of global travel and some years underwriting hotel investments, Chalana retraced his roots to the island of Sri Lanka. In his own words, “the pandemic inspired me to think differently; to reprioritize, reconnect with myself and recognize my purpose. . .”

Curated advisory. Regenerative hospitality.
“Regeneration is not just about lowering carbon footprint or certifying sustainability. Regeneration is about adding value through measurable systemic change.”
Why regenerate?
To regenerate is to grow or heal after loss or damage.
Imagine a world in which people and our planet thrive on the business of balance. If sustainability is about minimising damage and reducing negative impact, regeneration is about perpetual improvement that reinforces positive impact.
Regenerative systems promote a purposeful paradigm shift for hospitality and real estate businesses, creating abundance to enhance the well-being of all stakeholders.
Where opportunities are plentiful
Why Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka provides astute hospitality and real estate investors a wealth of opportunity to create value. All this, at the crossroads of East and West.
With an evolving tourism landscape that is marred by crises, Sri Lanka presents fertile grounds for regeneration. Conscious investors can retrace an island where local communities and native customs balance the well-being of people and our planet.
Quantifying an isle of hospitality
A pay-it-forward percentage.
Leading by example, contributing a portion of earnings from client mandates towards environmental regeneration. Clients can select from a range of projects and organisations that protect or regenerate vulnerable ecosystems. These ecosystems are the lifeline of our economies.
