Hemtours re-branded as Diethelm Travel Sri Lanka
 

Hemtours, one of Sri Lanka’s largest Destination Management companies and part of the Hemas Group, will now function as Diethelm Travel Sri Lanka Ltd from September 1. This new partnership was announced at the ITB in Berlin in March this year following an MOU signed between the two companies to re-brand and re-launch Hemtours as “Diethelm Travel Sri Lanka” (DTSL) with a specific focus on the in-bound tourism markets.

DTSL will continue to be operated by the same experienced Hemtours management and staff, the local company said. Abbas Esufally, Group Director, Hemas Holdings PLC said,in a statement that “We recently sought to strengthen our Sri Lankan business by finding a partner with a truly global distribution reach. From day one of entering into dialogue with DTG, it was clear we had found a like-minded, service-oriented, company with strong ethics and financial resources. We will be expanding our footprint to the Maldives in the near future”.

Chief Executive Officer of Diethelm Travel Group, John Watson, said, “Our international clientele has been requesting a ‘Diethelm Travel’ presence in Sri Lanka and the Maldives for quite some time. We are happy to have found an excellent partner in Hemtours, one of Sri Lanka’s time tested, well regarded, and quality tour operators”.
