Managing Director of Pio Lanka Holidays Holidays

My passion for tourism began as a child, when my best friend and I would go to the hotel where his dad was the manager. I was amazed to see a Sri Lanka different from the one I knew from my family: I met tourists for the first time, discovered hotel pools, and filled my pockets with sweets given to me at the reception.

In love with this world, as an adult I decided to put my strong organizational skills to good use. After high school, I found a job as a tour assistant for a major brand in the industry, Kuoni and John Kells . I greeted people arriving to visit Sri Lanka at the airport, welcomed them, and while accompanying them to their hotel, I enthusiastically explained the tour that awaited them. I am, in fact, a communicative, cheerful, and courteous person. I have also worked for a British multinational tourism company and for other tour operators.
