Ebert Silva Holidays together with Ebert Silva Foundation organized many religious and CSR activities to mark the 11th death anniversary of the Founder Ebert Silva, the late chairman of Ebert Silva Group on March 28, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

A pioneer and a legend in Sri Lanka\u2019s travel and tourism industry, Ebert Silva was born on November 2nd 1932. Nomis de Silva (1894 \u2013 1953), father of Ebert Silva founded a passenger transport company in 1925, with the first bus being operated from Colombo to Matara. Later, he named it after his eldest son as \u2018Ebert Silva Omni Bus Company Limited\u2019. In 1953, however, Ebert Silva, who was educated at St. Peters\u2019 College Colombo, as a young 21 year old was compelled to take over the company owing to the untimely death of his father.<\/span><\/p>\n

As one of the youngest entrepreneurs of the bus company era that spanned approximately three decades, Ebert Silva was successful in expanding and operating a model transport service that complied with high standards of quality and service. His sheer determination, resilience and commitment made the \u2018Ebert Silva\u2019 brand the only survivor of post nationalization of the 36 bus companies in 1958. Enduring the excruciating loss of losing the Omni Bus Company almost overnight, he nurtured Ebert Silva Touring Company which he incorporated as a young 22 year old to cater to tourism. His astute and visionary leadership was a success story that withstood the test of time giving rise to a national brand that had made lasting contributions in pioneering Sri Lanka\u2019s travel and tourism.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ebert Silva was a pioneer in domestic tourism. As a young entrepreneur he initiated many tour packages to less seen and travelled places in the island and was among the first to introduce \u2018package tours\u2019 to promote places of historic and scenic importance in Sri Lanka. Building a brand synonymous with Sri Lanka\u2019s travel and tourism industry the company under his leadership and vision was felicitated on numerous occasions for its quality of service and contribution to the industry with many awards and accolades including Presidential Awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a pioneer in Sri Lanka\u2019s tourism industry his contribution was generously extended to its advancement and promotion with him also serving as the President of the Travel Agents Association of Sri Lanka. In recognition of a lifetime of committed contribution to Sri Lanka\u2019s travel industry he was honored with the Presidential Award as a \u2018Legend\u2019 in Sri Lanka\u2019s Travel and Tourism in 2009. Ebert Silva was also among the legendary individuals felicitated at Sri Lanka Tourism\u2019s Golden Jubilee celebrations for his outstanding contribution to the development and growth of the tourism industry through the years.<\/span><\/p>\n
