Authenticity is the new wave of tourism in Sri Lanka with a strong focus in providing unique concepts through experiences and what we call “emotion” to our clients. The intention is to go beyond typical tourist movements and introduce concepts relating to local lifestyles, elements of our culture, engagement with local people.
Compactness – With only 65,610 sqkm land mass, the entire island of Sri Lanka can be explored within a few days. Even the longest distance across the country can be covered within a few hours and if you are flying within one hour. Even a busy traveler can see most parts of the country within a short period of time due to this second advantage which is being compact.
Diversity, the third and the biggest advantage is the unparalleled diversity of our tourism product. Sri Lanka is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region, as it contains mixture of golden beaches, rare unique wildlife, breath-taking landscapes and a rich cultural heritage. Despite its relatively small size, Sri Lanka possesses a high level of bio-diversity due to its wide range of topographic and climatic variations.
