Since 2009, Sri Lanka has seen strong ‘year-on-year’, double digit-growth in tourist arrivals. Overall infrastructure development has significantly boosted the growth and modernisation of tourism, and in particular the level of offerings at hotels. Contrary to all this, the country’s inbound tourism transport sector, handling over 80% of the tourists who visit Sri Lanka, remains lacklustre in its approach to provide exceptional transport solutions.

However, unlike most tourist transport service providers who are waiting for government assistance and relief, the evolution of the transport sector is currently being led by a company that is geared to revolutionise travel in Sri Lanka. Established in the late 1990s, Transcend Drive, operating under the name Drumkin Transporters has been providing ground-breaking travel solutions, thus far.

Having revitalised passenger transport for Sri Lanka’s national carrier a few years ago, thereby proving that success is a function of creating a niche and earning the customers trust, Transcend Drive is now poised to leverage its expertise and professionalism for the future. Responsible in recent times for the brand-new fleet of Audis currently being used by Cinnamon Grand and Cinnamon Lakeside, it has emerged as a reputable provider of first class ground transport services within the tourism industry. Offering solutions to business and leisure travellers, the company’s ultimate aim is high quality transport for everyone.
