Sri Lanka's tourism sector recovered strongly after the post-pandemic period, but the competitive landscape shifted permanently. International and domestic travellers now research exhaustively before booking — comparing properties across Google, TripAdvisor, Instagram, and OTAs before they ever visit a hotel's own website. Properties that aren't visible across these touchpoints, or that are visible but present poorly, lose bookings they should have won. And the majority of those bookings go to OTAs — at a 15–25% commission cost.
LVRA Global builds digital marketing programmes for Sri Lankan hospitality brands that address both sides of this problem: building visibility across every channel where travellers research, and converting that visibility into direct bookings that bypass OTA commission. The result is higher revenue per booking, greater control over guest acquisition, and a marketing investment that compounds rather than paying an indefinite OTA tax.

We understand the hospitality booking journey — and we build marketing programmes that intercept travellers at every stage of their research.
We build campaigns that reach both Sri Lanka's domestic travel market and the international segments — UK, Germany, Australia, Middle East — most likely to book your property. Each requires a different channel mix and creative approach.
OTA commissions erode hospitality margins. We build direct booking campaigns — SEO, Google Ads, email, and social — that reduce your dependency on Booking.com and Expedia without sacrificing occupancy.
We time campaigns to fill troughs, promote packages during shoulder seasons, and amplify demand during peak periods. Marketing strategy is coordinated with your revenue management objectives.
Online reputation drives booking decisions in Sri Lanka's tourism market. We manage your review presence across Google, TripAdvisor, and Booking.com — and build the content strategy that earns new positive reviews.
