In a bid to cater to the discerning tastes of luxury-seeking Indian travelers, Sri Lanka’s premier Destination Management Company (DMC), Serendipity, has set its sights on the super niche segment of the Indian tourism market. With a strategic focus on delivering high-end, personalized travel experiences, Serendipity aims to capitalize on the growing demand for bespoke luxury travel among Indian tourists.
India has consistently been among the top five primary markets for Sri Lanka’s inbound tourism, with over 300,000 Indian tourist arrivals recorded in 2023 alone. Recent statistics reveal a significant uptick in Indian travelers visiting Sri Lanka, with approximately 30,000 tourists in March and 96,000 in the first quarter of 2024. The proximity of Sri Lanka to India, coupled with short flight durations and hassle-free visa services, makes it an attractive destination for luxury-seeking Indian travelers.
Shaleen Shanthikumar, Director of Serendipity Experience, expressed excitement about targeting the super niche segment of Indian travelers, stating, “By focusing on delivering unmatched luxury, exclusivity, and tailored services, we aim to redefine the travel experiences of Indian tourists visiting Sri Lanka.”
