Red Dot, the boutique tour operator offering tailor-made itineraries to Sri Lanka, India and the Maldives, has relaunched its website as part of an official rebrand. The refreshed identity promises to elevate the customer experience, reflect Red Dot’s core ethos and perfectly match more discerning travellers with caringly crafted, tailor-made holidays.
The UK and Sri Lanka-based travel company has been crafting highly personalised holidays for over twenty years. Drawing on a trusted network of expert local guides, drivers, and specialists, the team carefully curates experiences, accommodations, and encounters to reveal the very best of each destination. The Colombo-based Red Dot team of travel consultants are all-female, which is notable when less than 10% of Sri Lanka’s tourism employees are women. With a small but dedicated team operating across the UK and Sri Lanka, the company works exclusively with boutique, locally owned properties and exceptional experience providers, showcasing a commitment to authenticity, uniqueness, and the support of local communities and economies.
Commenting on the rebrand, Red Dot Sales and Service Manager Cherylle Sargent said, “Our rebrand marks a major transformation – one that truly reflects the depth and meaning behind our trips. The new website makes it easier than ever to find inspiration tailored to every kind of traveller, and our ‘Journal’ section offers a rich source of insight for those who want to dive deeper. It’s a much more authentic representation of who we are and what we do.”
