Om Oss | Serendo Tours

We love Sri Lanka!

But traveling to Sri Lanka is not like traveling to Europe...

Having lived, traveled and worked in Sri Lanka for several years, we have realized that almost nothing works like it does in the West! Just a simple thing like the fact that a car journey often takes three times as long as in Sweden is something that many tourists don't think about when traveling in the country. Moreover, they often get much more expensive prices, just because they are foreigners. Such mistakes are exactly what we want to help you avoid!

So drop the hassle, & let us take care of it!

We already have established relationships with many local drivers, hotel and restaurant owners that we trust and have favorable rates with, and we know Sri Lanka well. So instead of hassling with all the technical and practical stuff, you can leave it to us - while keeping control of your trip!

Your wishes + our expertise = Dream trip!!

Both in the planning phase and during the trip, we will give you suggestions, tips and recommendations based on our experience and knowledge, but the decision is always up to you. If you are not satisfied, neither are we. So let's create an unforgettable journey together that you will carry with you for life!

OUR VISION

Sri Lanka as #1 destination

We see how much of an impact tourism has on Sri Lankan society. Because of this, along with our great love for this amazingly beautiful country, we have high ambitions and vision to see Sri Lanka within a few years be one of the top tourist destinations for European travelers! We also want to see many more entrepreneurs, investors, workers - well, anyone really - getting involved in the country!

We believe that we achieve this by creating genuine and unforgettable experiences that inspire people to return, invest and support Sri Lanka.

The owners

Bengt-Åke Svensson till vänster och Annika Svensson till höger, ägare och grundare av Serendo Tours

Serendo was founded by B-Å (Bengt-Åke) and Annika Svensson, an entrepreneurial couple from Småland with a big heart and a drive to make a difference wherever they are in the world. Since 2016, they live in the city of Negombo on the west coast of Sri Lanka. They say that moving to Sri Lanka is one of the best things they have ever done.

B-Å & Annika also run several other businesses and projects in Sri Lanka to create jobs. Their main focus is Focus Business School, a school that provides knowledge on how to start and run your own business with good ethics and morals. The ultimate aim of the school is for students to become self-sufficient.

Annika has three businesses, all aimed at helping Sri Lankan women find work. One of those companies is Ceylon Design, which sells handmade jewelry and hair accessories made by Sri Lankan women, which are then sold on to Sweden. She also runs two second-hand businesses in the country, an effort that is growing rapidly despite the fact that second-hand is still rare in Sri Lanka.

"We welcome you and hope you have a wonderful journey through Serendo!"
- B-Å & Annika
