George Steuart Travels Marks 50 Years with a Celebration of Service and Legacy
George Steuart Travels Ltd., a cornerstone of Sri Lanka’s travel and tourism industry, celebrated its 50th anniversary with a grand event at Cosmic By Citrus, Colombo Lotus Tower.
The highlight of the event was the meritorious act of donating 50 artificial limbs (prosthetics) via the Friends in Need Society, thus giving the gift of mobility to these individuals in need. The gesture encapsulates the corporate philosophy of purpose-beyond profit entrenched within George Steuart & Co., the oldest mercantile institute in Sri Lanka and one of the oldest companies in the world.
The event honoured employees of George Steuart Travels with long-standing tenures of over one, two and three decades of service, celebrating their loyalty and invaluable contributions to the company’s sustained success. This recognition reflects the company’s strong internal culture and commitment to nurturing enduring relationships with its team members.
Representatives from leading airlines in the country attended the event, alongside former Chairpersons and Board Directors of the George Steuart Group, and former employees as well as members of George Steuart & Co. Their collective presence highlighted the respect, partnerships, and camaraderie that continue to drive the company’s success.
The 50th-anniversary celebration was a memorable occasion, honouring the legacy of George Steuart Travels while celebrating its impactful present and setting the stage for a promising future.
