Lakpura LLC is one of Sri Lanka's foremost destination management companies, with more than a decade of experience crafting travel experiences across the island. Our operations span Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Estonia — and our team is at the heart of everything we do. If you are passionate about travel, hospitality, and creating meaningful journeys for visitors, we would like to hear from you.
What Does Lakpura Do?
As a full-service DMC, Lakpura designs, operates, and manages travel programs for individuals, groups, and trade partners. Our work covers everything from private car and driver arrangements to wildlife safaris, cultural tours, and luxury resort bookings. We work with destinations across Sri Lanka — from the ancient city of Polonnaruwa to the wildlife corridors of the south — giving our team members an extraordinary breadth of product knowledge.
We are proud of the editorial and digital content platform we have built around Sri Lankan travel, which means our team includes not just operations and sales professionals but also researchers, writers, and digital specialists who understand the destination intimately.
Why Work at Lakpura?
Lakpura is a young, agile company that moves quickly and rewards initiative. Our team members are encouraged to develop expertise in specific destinations, product categories, or languages — and to apply that expertise directly in the work they deliver for clients. We operate in a genuinely international environment: our clients come from across Europe, North America, and Asia, and our colleagues are based in multiple countries.
- Exposure to inbound tourism operations at a senior level
- Opportunities to work across sales, operations, content, and product development
- A company culture that values direct feedback and fast career growth
- International working environment with colleagues and partners across four countries
- The chance to develop deep expertise in one of Asia's most diverse travel destinations
What Roles Does Lakpura Typically Hire For?
Our hiring needs shift with the business, but we regularly look for candidates across the following areas:
| Function | Typical Roles |
|---|---|
| Travel Operations | Reservation executives, tour coordinators, ground handlers |
| Sales & Trade Relations | B2B sales executives, partner account managers |
| Digital & Content | Content writers, SEO specialists, web coordinators |
| Product Development | Destination researchers, itinerary planners |
| Technology | Web developers, CMS managers, API integration specialists |
| Multilingual Services | Guides and coordinators fluent in European or Asian languages |
We also welcome applications from candidates with specialist language skills. Our international client base means fluency in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, or other major travel-market languages is a genuine advantage.
What Qualities Do We Look For?
We hire for attitude as much as for experience. A genuine interest in Sri Lanka — its culture, wildlife, history, and people — is something we value in every candidate, whatever the role. Beyond that, the qualities that tend to define successful Lakpura team members include:
- Strong written and spoken English (additional languages are an asset)
- Attention to detail, particularly in client-facing documents and communications
- Comfort working with digital tools and platforms
- A problem-solving mindset — travel rarely goes exactly to plan, and adaptability matters
- Curiosity about travel trends, traveller behaviour, and destination knowledge
How Do I Apply for a Position at Lakpura?
We review applications on a rolling basis. To be considered, send your CV and a short covering note explaining the role you are interested in and why you feel you are a good fit for Lakpura. Please include specific examples of relevant experience wherever possible — a note that reflects genuine knowledge of our business and the Sri Lankan travel industry will always stand out.
Applications should be sent to our human resources team via the contact details listed on our website. We aim to respond to all applications, though response times may vary during peak operational periods.
Where Is Lakpura Based?
Our primary operations are based in Sri Lanka, and most of our travel, operations, and product roles are located here. Our presence in the United Kingdom, United States, and Estonia supports trade partnerships and international sales. Candidates interested in remote or hybrid working arrangements for digital and content roles are welcome to indicate this in their application.
Is Lakpura a Good Place to Build a Career in Travel?
For candidates who are serious about building a career in destination management, Lakpura offers a level of exposure that is difficult to find at larger, more segmented organisations. Team members here work closely with product, operations, and client services — often within the same week — which accelerates professional development considerably. Sri Lanka itself is a destination of remarkable depth: its wildlife, heritage, landscapes, and culinary culture give our team an endlessly interesting subject to master.
We are a growing business, and that means the people who join us now have the opportunity to grow with it. If that environment appeals to you, we encourage you to reach out.
