A Founder Whose Engineering Discipline Shapes Every Journey
The story of TCV Travels Sri Lanka is inseparable from its founder — a rare convergence of graduate engineering training and a formal Master of Science in Project Management that no competitor in Pelmadulla's tourism market can claim.
Mr. Susith Nishantha Premasiri brings systematic analysis, design precision, and quality assurance protocols to every itinerary TCV Travels Sri Lanka designs. Tour operations are, fundamentally, complex temporary projects — and he manages each one with scope definition, risk registers, and quality gates rather than improvisation.
Born and raised in Pelmadulla, and having founded the company there in 2018, he has built TCV Travels Sri Lanka into Sri Lanka's most distinctive engineering-led highland destination management company — delivering precision-crafted, authentic journeys for German and Indian travellers.

Founder Expertise Pillars
The qualifications, local roots, and experience behind TCV Travels Sri Lanka's engineering-grade delivery
BSc in Engineering — Systems Thinking
Mr. Premasiri's BSc Engineering qualification instilled the habits of mind that define TCV Travels' character: systematic analysis, design precision, quality assurance protocols, and an instinctive resistance to improvisation. These tools are applied to route planning, logistics scheduling, accommodation selection, and guide performance assessment.
MSc in Project Management — The Tourism Difference
A formal management framework sets TCV Travels apart: every guest programme is managed as a structured project, with scope definition, work breakdown structure, risk register, quality gates, and stakeholder communication protocols. For German clients especially, this operational rigour is an extraordinary competitive advantage.
Pelmadulla Roots — Irreplaceable Local Intelligence
Born and raised in Pelmadulla, Mr. Premasiri carries decades of accumulated local intelligence no outsider can replicate — which waterfalls are seasonal, which gem traders maintain genuine craft integrity, and the rural tracks that lead to cascades no tourist ever sees.
The Integrated Entrepreneur — Tourism, Hospitality & Agriculture
His ownership and development of Terrace Cinnamon View — a boutique 7-room hotel on a 6-acre cinnamon and tea estate — represents a strategic business integration most tour operators could not conceive, providing an owned hospitality product at the heart of the region TCV serves.
Pioneer of Highland Tourism Development
Mr. Premasiri's explicit strategic objective is to endorse Pelmadulla as the premier nature tourism destination of Sri Lanka — investing in infrastructure, visitor education, and market development that benefits communities and conservation for decades to come.
Strategic Vision & Long-Term Leadership
Day-to-day, Mr. Premasiri oversees itinerary quality assurance, supplier relationships, vehicle fleet coordination, and the phased development from specialised boutique operator to recognised destination management authority for the central highlands.
