The dynamic founder of the first ever Chain of Supermarkets in Sri Lanka, Cornel\u2019s Supermarkets and the entrepreneur who initiated and built The Hilton Colombo and a great personality is no more.<\/span><\/p>\n

His funeral takes place tomorrow Monday the 25th of April 2022 as per the information I have leaving Raymond\u2019s during the late morning or the early afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please pass on the information to whoever may have known him personally and who would have benefitted from his business endeavours and benovalence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Milinda Moragoda, Minister of Tourism, has appointed Cornel Perera as Chairman of the Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism & Hotel Management (SLITHM), to succeed Bernard Goonathilake.<\/span><\/p>\n

His achievements include being Founder-Chairman of the Hilton Colombo; bailing-out the Grand Hotel – Nuwara Eliya, at President Jayawardene’s request; arranging Air Lanka flights to Saudi Arabia; and successfully implementing the World Bank-assisted conversion of the National Milk Board into a company structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cornel is credited with introducing the supermarket concept to Sri Lanka in 1978-79. He also built Brandix Garment factory as SUN-CORNEL Textile. Later, he co-founded the Sri Lanka-Japan Business Cooperative Committee and, most recently, chaired the Colombo City Hotels advisory committee, where he put into effect the minimum rate system for Colombo’s hotels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cornel Perera is a lifetime member of New York’s Cornell Hotel Society.<\/span><\/p>\n
