In line with the Government’s decision to provide vehicle import permits to the tourism industry for a limited number of buses and vans, DFCC Leasing offers a range of innovative, tailormade solutions. With decades of experience in flexible leasing products, DFCC Leasing is well-positioned to support the tourism sector. With over 70 years of heritage, DFCC Bank is the ideal financial partner for larger tourism corporates leveraging the new vehicle-import permit system.
Commenting on the initiative, Aasiri Iddamalgoda, Senior Vice President- Head of Retail Banking and SME at DFCC Bank, said, “We understand the need for the tourism sector to obtain high-quality vehicles to meet the growing demand amidst the ongoing boom in tourism. Modernising existing fleets will help ensure higher quality standards and lower maintenance costs for operators, resulting in increased value creation for the economy. Accordingly, DFCC Leasing proudly stands ready to assist the sector, and we can provide flexible solutions that are customised based on individual requirements. As a leader in the leasing space, we can provide an unparalleled customer experience with the most competitive rates in the market. As a bank committed to sustainable development, we are also incredibly pleased to be able to facilitate and support the growth of the tourism industry, which is a key part of the economic recovery we envision.”
The limited relaxation of import controls is a welcome development for the tourism sector. Whether for newly imported vehicles or those in the secondary market, DFCC Leasing supports the tourism sector and all other businesses in Sri Lanka with innovative, flexible, and personalised leasing solutions backed by one of Sri Lanka’s most trusted banks.
