In its continuous effort to uplift Small & Medium Entrepreneurs and improve quality standards, Walkers Tours launched its third project by introducing16 new Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) to its fleet. In early 2004, Walkers Tours and Whittalls Travels, the Destination Management Companies (DMC) of the John Keells Group launched a trend-setting initiative to introduce a self-financed model for tour drivers to purchase their own vehicles. According to a press release issued by the company, the success of the initial scheme led to a introduction of 106 brand new Nissan Bluebird Sylphy vehicles into the tour operations of the John Keells Leisure sector early this year,
"This is an incredible opportunity for the Chauffeur Guides to pay for their own SUVs within five years," said Michael Elias, CEO Walkers Tours. The scheme recognized and rewarded seniority and professionalism of the most dedicated Chauffeur Guides, thereby ensuring the finest value added service to clients of Walkers Tours. The scheme endeavours to motivate and uplift the small and medium entrepreneurs and improve the quality standards at Walkers Tours.
Walkers Tours said it seeks to contribute to the growth of the tourism industry by offering the tourist the best and novel choices. Upgraded vehicle fleets make it easier for tourists to explore newly opened areas in the North and East. |
