Local agents (Travel agents based in Sri Lanka engaged in Inbound Tourism to Sri Lanka)

Lakpura Travels (Pvt.) Ltd., Moratuwa, Sri Lanka is a registered entity at Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority, the state arm or rather, the governing body of the tourism in Sri Lanka. The registered travel agents are legally entitled to lowest room rates on confirmed (100% guaranteed) room bookings from the hotels in Sri Lanka. On the other hand, the registered travel agents are legally bound to make the full payments, in advance of the arrival of guests, to the hotels. In view of this mutually beneficent arrangement, we are compelled to request our clients to make the full payment on room charges.

Once the full payment on room charges are settled with our agency, we make the necessary payment to the hotel in turn, and our client is guaranteed with hotel room confirmations. The job is done.

Secondly, we being a local travel agent, being on the destination, are geared to extend further assistance, if required, during your holidays in Sri Lanka

We are at your destination. We are well positioned to do still more jobs.

Commission Agents (Web based retailers located nowhere near the destination, selling Sri Lanka Hotel rooms on-line)

Most of the Commission Agents are pure online traders without an office in Sri Lanka. These on-line sellers market hotel rooms they most possibly have never witnessed, secure a so called reservation for a small fee of USD 10 or and release a hotel room confirmation voucher on-line to the client.

Now their client having arrived in Sri Lanka, expecting to pay the final payment at the hotel, may find no rooms available at all. The voucher may not be honored. Of course this wouldn’t be the case all the times. But then the probability could be significant, especially during the season. We take it that, what can go wrong, will go wrong.

Now the excuses would galore: communication failure; late arrival of client; incorrect hotel. You will never know. And you have no one to turn to. You have no one at your destination.
