Sri Lanka’s largest online travel company Findmyfare Ltd. has emerged the winner in multiple categories at the recently concluded South Asian Travel Awards 2017, held at Equator Village in Addu City, Maldives.
In recognition of its truly innovative offerings, Findmyfare was honoured with awards for ‘Leading Travel Technology, South Asia’, ‘Leading Travel Technology, Sri Lanka’, ‘Leading Tour Operator, Sri Lanka’ and ‘Leading Travel Agent, Sri Lanka’ in 2017.
Held for the second consecutive year, the South Asian Travel Awards are highly coveted regional awards, which are the first to be endorsed by multi-national tourism and travel associations in South Asia. The overarching goal of the Awards is to raise industry standards, and even service levels, across this region. Significantly, this year saw over 450 nominees, more than double the number in 2016 that represented organisations from the Maldives, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. The Awards were presented in over 40 categories comprising areas such as travel agencies, tour operators, full service airlines, low cost airlines, adventure tourism and hotels.
Commenting on his company’s outstanding performance at these prestigious awards, Findmyfare Director Abishek Sithampalam said, “Findmyfare is pleased to be honoured once again for our best-in-class technology that has positively impacted so many by making it easier to travel. This is the second year we have been adjudged the best in South Asia for our technology.”
Further, he additionally noted that Findmyfare’s expertise as a tour operator and travel agent was also recognised for the first time; a major milestone for the company that was continually broadening its reach beyond Sri Lanka.
Since its launch in 2012, Findmyfare Ltd. has become Sri Lanka’s ultimate one-stop travel shop, providing the best travel deals available in the market-place. Its website, www.findmyfare.com, allows customers to search, compare and book affordable flights and hotels around the world. The company was also the very first in Sri Lanka to provide an online reservations system that enabled customers to confirm bookings without submitting a credit card payment. All the features of this website are also designed to make the process of researching, choosing and paying for a holiday as simple, easy and convenient as possible.
