Sri Lanka’s boutique luxury hospitality brand W15 Collection has achieved a notable milestone in its regional expansion, receiving the Excellence Award for Most Exclusive Leisure Product at the prestigious Travel & Tourism Fair (TTF) held in Bengaluru, India.

The Travel & Tourism Fair is widely regarded as one of India’s most prominent travel trade platforms, bringing together tourism boards, hospitality brands, travel agents, tour operators, and other industry stakeholders from across the country and international markets. Hosted annually in major Indian cities including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, TTF serves as a vital marketplace for networking, product showcases, and forging new partnerships within the travel industry.

At the 2026 edition in Bengaluru, W15 Collection stood out among numerous global exhibitors, earning recognition for its distinctive approach to luxury hospitality. The award for Most Exclusive Leisure Product reflects the brand’s commitment to delivering curated, high-end travel experiences that blend Sri Lankan culture, personalised service, and unique destinations.

The accolade also represents an important step in W15 Collection’s strategic engagement with the Indian travel market. With India continuing to emerge as one of the most significant source markets for Sri Lanka, the recognition highlights the growing interest among Indian travellers for exclusive and experiential stays on the island.

Commenting on the achievement, Nadeera Fernando, Director of Sales at W15 Collection, noted that the recognition was both encouraging and timely as the brand strengthens its presence in India.

“We are truly honoured to receive this recognition at TTF Bengaluru. As our first step towards entering the Indian market, this award is both encouraging and validating. India represents a key growth market for W15 Collection, with strong potential for luxury and experiential travel. This milestone strengthens our commitment to building meaningful partnerships and offering distinctive Sri Lankan experiences to Indian travellers,” she said.

The recognition at TTF Bengaluru underscores W15 Collection’s growing reputation as a provider of distinctive luxury experiences while also reinforcing the appeal of Sri Lanka’s boutique hospitality sector in the competitive regional travel market. As the brand continues to expand its outreach in India, such acknowledgements further strengthen its position as a unique offering for discerning travellers seeking exclusive and immersive island escapes.
