Full ground handling, trade only

Travelo DMC provides complete ground handling for travel agents and tour operators in Sri Lanka, led by our local team. Dubai, Thailand and Azerbaijan remain manually coordinated secondary support for approved agencies, using vetted destination partners where required. Your clients are supported from arrival to departure while your agency retains the client relationship.

What ground handling covers

A destination operations contact for live programmes — amendments, special requests and escalations.

How it works with your agency

After full registration and manual approval, submit the destination, dates, party size and service requirements through the protected agent workflow. Complete briefs are reviewed within 24 working hours, subject to complexity.

Once you confirm, our Sri Lanka team coordinates the programme under your brand, using vetted service partners where required. We work strictly B2B: your client relationship stays yours, and we do not market directly to your clients. Client ownership is stated in full in our booking terms.
