Hemas Travels Ltd., the leading outbound travel agency in Sri Lanka has spread its wings in the rapidly developing city of Jaffna. The IATA-approved travel agency which has been in operation since 1979 made an impact in the central province with the launch of its Kandy branch late last year, and has within a short duration, now set its imprint in the North with its second branch outside of Colombo. 

Strategically located at No 14,  Jaffna – Point Pedro Road, the new Jaffna branch operates from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and is manned by trained and experienced Tamil-speaking staff. It offers a range of services from total travel solutions and airline ticketing covering all airlines, to the handling of hotels, outbound holiday packages, cruises, coach tours, visa handling and connections to the 24/7 after hour operation in Colombo, etc. 

“We are proud to make our presence felt in the burgeoning metropolis of Jaffna. Recent years have seen many families reunite with relatives overseas resulting in significant outbound traffic for short and long terms visits and holiday travel. Statistics also show large numbers of students from the North venturing overseas for education abroad. The potential for the outbound travel industry in Jaffna thus far exceeds the expectation and demand, hence the establishment of Hemas Travels in Jaffna is mutually beneficial to all. Having expanded to one of the most important locations in the island, Hemas Travels, with its extensive services on offer, has created ease of travel to all within our network,” said Hemas Travels Ltd. Senior Manager Heshan Perera.
