View(s):Vista Rooms, an online accommodation website an aim to provide comfortable, standardized stays, following a wave of success in India has announced the launch of operations in Sri Lanka. The online accommodation site has already tied up with over 200 properties across 25 cities to build the largest network of branded stays in Sri Lanka. These properties include boutique hotels, guesthouses, service apartments, villas and home stays. “More than 75 per cent of guest stays have taken place in the 2-Star category or below in the past couple of years. There is an extensive amount of travel taking place amongst South Asian countries and we see an opportunity to create a pan-South Asian brand in the affordable hospitality segment,” said Amit Damani, Co-Founder of Vista Rooms.
The Vista team has been guided by Mahesh and Rakhil Hirdaramani of the Hirdaramani Group while expanding to Sri Lanka. “With more and more young Sri Lankans looking to get away for long weekends with friends and family coupled with the rising international travel market, thanks to a concerted push from the tourism board, Sri Lanka is an ideal location for Vista Rooms to enter,” said Rakhil Hirdaramani in the media release.
Launched in India in April 2015 Vista Rooms was founded by Amit Damani, Ankita Sheth and Pranav Maheshwari. Vista Rooms follows an asset and people-light model and looks to venture into five countries by the end of 2016.
