Our Story

The company was established in the suburban town of Wennappuwa, Sri Lanka, in the year 1999. Having received IATA accreditation in 2007, the company embarked on a journey with a primary goal of providing reliable and quality travel options to many travelers from within the North Western region of the country. The company soon expanded its presence to other cities and currently have the largest travel branch network in the country. The continuous growth and success of the travel business in Sri Lanka inspired us to take our footprint overseas with the opening of our two offices in Milan and Verona (Italy), office in Melbourne (Australia), followed by the establishment of the newest office in Dubai (UAE) in June 2022.

A message from our Chairman

Looking back on my journey as an entrepreneur throughout the years, I can't help but reminisce about the humble beginnings of a small business that has since evolved into the extensive branch network we see today. The path was anything but smooth, with formidable competition from industry giants standing in our way. However, my unyielding determination and tireless effort allowed me to overcome these challenges. It's a source of immense pride to be acknowledged as one of the youngest achievers in our industry.
When we take a moment to look back at the birth of our company 25 years ago, the remarkable growth across every aspect of our business is undeniable. Consequently, as we cast our gaze into the future, we're met with a vision characterized by brightness and optimism. We're committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancements, continually enhancing our ability to serve our clients.
My unshakable belief in ethical business practices underlines my dedication to realizing our vision. I'm committed to formulating policies and strategies that will guide my business toward the realization of our shared goals.
