Held from July 5–10, 2026 and July 10–14, 2026, the curated itineraries were designed to provide the Indian travel trade with an immersive understanding of Sri Lanka’s diverse luxury experiences while showcasing Jetwing Hotels’ distinguished collection of Jetwing Luxury Reserves, complemented by select Jetwing Premium Hotels, across the country’s cultural heartland and southern coastline.
The initiative reflects Jetwing Hotels’ continued investment in the Indian outbound market, equipping travel advisors with firsthand product knowledge to better curate bespoke itineraries for the growing number of Indian travellers seeking authentic and experience-led holidays in Sri Lanka.
The FAM programme followed two thoughtfully curated itineraries showcasing the breadth of Sri Lanka’s luxury experiences.
The Central Collection featured stays at Jetwing Vil Uyana, Jetwing Kandy Gallery, Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa, and Jetwing Lagoon Wellness from the Jetwing Luxury Reserves portfolio, along with Jetwing Lake, part of the Jetwing Premium Hotels collection. The itinerary combined iconic attractions including Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Dambulla Cave Temple, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, and Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage with wildlife encounters, artisan experiences, wellness offerings and local gastronomy.
The Southern Collection highlighted Sri Lanka’s scenic southern coastline through stays at Jetwing Saman Villas and Jetwing Lighthouse from the Jetwing Luxury Reserves portfolio, alongside visits to Jetwing Villa 700 in Bentota and Jetwing Galle Heritage Homes and Jetwing Kurulubedda in Galle, all part of the Jetwing Premium Hotels collection. The itinerary was complemented by experiences including Geoffrey Bawa’s architectural legacy, the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, a Madu Ganga river cruise, vibrant local markets and curated wellness experiences.
Together, the two itineraries showcased the diversity of Jetwing Hotels’ luxury portfolio, blending heritage, nature, wellness, architecture and authentic Sri Lankan hospitality while equipping travel advisors with practical insights to craft high-value itineraries for the Indian market.
