Sri Lanka DMC for the travel trade
Your Sri Lanka DMC and ground operator
Ground operations for travel professionals. You keep the client, we run the island.
Tailor-made itineraries, trade pricing, private driver-guides, hotels, experiences and 24/7 support from our teams in the UK and Sri Lanka.
UK company. Local Colombo operations. White-label friendly.
Your Sri Lanka back office
BSL Tours is a UK-registered Sri Lanka specialist and Destination Management Company. We design tailor-made itineraries and operate every part of the journey on the ground, including private driver-guides, hotels, transfers, safaris, activities and local support.
When one of your clients asks about Sri Lanka, send us the brief. You retain the client relationship and control the sale. We create the itinerary, provide net rates or an agreed commission model, and deliver the trip on the ground.
Your commercial relationship is with our UK company under English law. Day to day, you deal with a UK-based team while our people in Colombo coordinate every trip locally.

White-label delivery
Present the itinerary under your own brand, use ours, or work on a co-branded basis. The client relationship remains yours throughout the booking and the trip.

Private driver-guides, hotels, airport transfers, rail travel, safaris, activities and experiences across Sri Lanka. One operating partner, one point of contact and a clear booking record.
In-trip support
Your clients receive 24/7 support while travelling. If plans change or something goes wrong on the ground, our local operations team deals with it quickly and keeps you informed.
Who we work with
Built for travel professionals
Travel agents and homeworkers
When a client says they are considering Sri Lanka, send us the enquiry. You can offer a properly planned trip without needing a Sri Lanka contracting and operations team in-house.
Tour operators
Add Sri Lanka to your Asia or Indian Ocean programme without building the operation from scratch. We can supply complete itineraries or manage only the ground services you need.
Travel designers and concierge companies
For high-touch clients with detailed requests, you get direct access to a responsive team that understands the itinerary and operates it locally.
Luxury and specialist travel companies
We can support private journeys, special-interest travel, family trips, honeymoons and carefully planned higher-end itineraries where service and communication matter.
Why BSL Tours
A partner your team can reach when it matters
Agents do not only need good rates. They need fast answers, reliable operations and confidence that their client will be looked after.
UK commercial relationship
Work with a company registered in England and Wales, with the contractual relationship governed under English law.
Local Colombo operations
Trips are coordinated by people on the ground who can speak directly with drivers, hotels and experience providers.
One point of contact
You do not need to manage separate drivers, hotels and activity suppliers. We coordinate the itinerary as one trip.
White-label friendly
Your brand and client relationship are protected. We can operate behind the scenes or appear as the local delivery partner.
Fast itinerary turnaround
Our target is to return a costed first proposal within 24 hours when the brief contains the key dates, group details and budget.
Support during travel
Your clients have access to local assistance throughout their trip, and your team stays informed if anything material changes.
Commercial options
A model that fits the way you sell
We can provide net rates that allow you to set your own selling price, or agree a commission-based arrangement where that better fits your business. The right structure can depend on the itinerary, booking value, services included and expected booking volume.
Net rates
We provide the trade cost and you decide the final price presented to your client.
Commission
We agree a commission structure and manage the customer-facing price on the agreed basis.
Commercial terms are agreed individually with each partner. Detailed payment terms, cancellation conditions and booking procedures are confirmed before the first live booking.
How it works
From client brief to completed trip
Send us the brief
Share the dates, party details, interests, preferred travel style and approximate budget. An email, form submission or WhatsApp message is enough to start.
Receive the itinerary and trade pricing
We prepare a day-by-day itinerary with the proposed accommodation, transport, activities and commercial terms. Our target is to return the first version within 24 hours.
Present and revise
Present the itinerary under your brand, ours or on a co-branded basis. Send us the client’s feedback and we will make the required revisions.
We operate the trip
Once confirmed, we manage the bookings and ground delivery. Your client remains your client, and we keep your team informed before and during travel.
What you receive
An itinerary your team can present
Every brief comes back as a day-by-day itinerary with the proposed hotels, transport, activities and commercial terms, ready to share with your client.
Our existing tours show the destinations and experiences we can adapt for your clients. Trade itineraries are built around each individual brief.
