Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts facilitated the first photography-based reality show with the National Geographic channel in February, focusing on many of the tourist attractions in the Island. Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts, the key hospitality partner for the event set the background for these challenges adding colour and glamour to the images taken and providing excellent accommodation for the Nat Geo Team.
As the first challenge of the elimination rounds, Chaaya Wild Yala posed a wildlife based challenge for the contestants. Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts were more than a hospitality partner providing guidance on the field with the expertise of Head of Eco Tourism Chitral Jayatileke along with the Cinnamon Nature Trails team. The team mentored the photographers offering tips and advice on how to capture the best images in the wild. Chitral Jayatileke was also part of the panel of field specialists conducting the Yala leg in short listing the best images.
