Mai Globe Travels

What Mai Globe Travels does

Mai Globe Travels (Pvt) Ltd. is a privately held, inbound travel agency founded in 2012 and headquartered in Colombo, Sri Lanka, with a regional office in Hanoi, Vietnam. The company designs and sells fully customized, tailor-made holiday packages to Asia across 12+ destinations — primarily Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Maldives, Japan, India, Thailand, and Cambodia — served by a small multicultural team (1-10 employees) offering multilingual support in English, French, and German. Its product portfolio spans individual tailor-made holidays, small group tours (max 10-15 travelers), budget/special-deal packages, theme-based tours (honeymoon, family, wildlife, wellness, adventure, eco-tourism), B2B Destination Management Company (DMC) services for international tour operators, and the MAI Care responsible-tourism program.

The company operates with no proprietary technology platform, relying on a traditional agency model: customers submit inquiries through a website form, dedicated travel consultants design customized itineraries, and revenue is generated via per-package pricing (ranging from approximately USD 575 for shoestring tours to USD 4,165 for premium Japan trips), with 50% deposits and balance payments. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via the company website, supplemented by channel partnerships with Evaneos, the Receptive Global Travel Network (as French market specialist), TripAdvisor, and social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Regulatory credibility is anchored by SLTDA affiliation, TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, and Safe & Secure Certification from Sri Lanka Tourism.
