Ramada enjoyed one its best years in 2000, with an average growth of five per cent in business levels. "Last year was very good, not just for us, but for the industry in general," says general manager Rohan Karunaratne. "And this year we expect to maintain the same level of growth." The 123-room four-star hotel, which prides itself for its 'five-star' personalised service, focuses mainly on corporate customers, who account for around 75 per cent of its guests, with leisure travellers accounting for the rest. The corporate traveller, says Karunaratne, will continue to be the focus of Ramada's business drive.
