Accessible Tourism in Action at Ruinschaya Hotel in Polonnaruwa

 Travelling is not just about seeing new places – it’s about freedom, joy, and unforgettable experiences. For #persons with #disabilities, #accessible #tourism opens the door to #inclusion and equal opportunities to explore the beauty of our world.

#Manique Gunaratne made this vision a reality by giving a group of persons with #diverse disabilities the chance to enjoy #leisure time at the #RuinsChaya Hotel, Polonnaruwa in February 2022. With its warm hospitality, comfortable facilities, and scenic surroundings, Ruins Chaya is a perfect example of how tourism can be inclusive for all.

Let’s keep promoting destinations that welcome everyone, because travel should have no barriers! #AccessibleTourism #InclusionMatters #TravelForAll #Polonnaruwa #RuinsChayaHotel 


Woman standing on a grassy patch near a serene lake at sunrise or sunset. She is wearing a pink and white traditional saree and smiling at the camera. The scene is calm with lush green trees, their branches extending overhead, and the sunlight peeking through the foliage. The water in the background is reflecting the trees and sky, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Nearby is a low brick wall, and a coiled hose lies on the ground. The overall mood is tranquil and scenic.

Three women standing together outdoors near a lake. They are dressed smartly, each wearing a lanyard with an identification card around their neck. The woman in the middle is wearing a traditional outfit in peach and beige colors, while the two women on either side are wearing dark dresses—one in purple and the other in black with red floral patterns. All three are smiling and appear happy. The background features lush green trees, grass, and calm water reflecting the surroundings, giving the scene a peaceful, natural atmosphere. Sunlight filters through the tree branches above them.

The women are dressed in a mix of dresses, skirts, and a saree, and the man is wearing a formal shirt with a tie. All are wearing blue lanyards with name badges. It’s early morning or late afternoon, with light filtering through the trees, and there is lush greenery and calm water in the background, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

A serene riverside scene at sunrise or sunset, with overhanging tree branches framing the view. The calm water reflects the trees and the sky, creating a mirror-like effect. There is light mist above the river, adding a peaceful and dreamy atmosphere. In the distance, a small boat is floating near the center of the river. The sun is partially visible through the tall trees on the left, casting a soft, warm light. On the right side, there is a spherical lamp mounted on a post, further enhancing the tranquil ambiance.
