Classic Travel, a trusted name in the travel industry, has partnered with the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) to offer unparalleled advantages to student travelers. Through this collaboration, Classic Travel introduces a co-branded ISIC card that grants students complimentary access to global discounts and benefits, setting a new standard in convenience and affordability for student travel.
By integrating ISIC into its services, Classic Travel enhances its commitment to providing a seamless travel experience for students. The co-branded card, offered free of charge, not only reduces costs for essentials like airfare and accommodations but also adds value to Classic Travel’s comprehensive packages, including visa processing and travel insurance.
Commenting on the collaboration, Shiham Imamudeen, CEO/Director of Classic Travel, stated, “Student travel has always been at the forefront of our operations, and this partnership with ISIC is a testament to that commitment. By connecting students to a global network of benefits and opportunities, we’re empowering the next generation to explore, learn, and grow without limitations. This is another step in our ongoing mission to make travel accessible and rewarding for students.
Parveen Dassenaike, the Chairperson of United Ventures, the exclusive ISIC representative in Sri Lanka, highlighted that, “Further to our partnership, we are delighted to have Classic Travel onboard with us as the official travel partner at EDEX Expo 2025 . EDEX is the largest and longest-running Education Exhibition and Job fair in Sri Lanka, which proudly completed its 20th Anniversary this year, conducting two highly successful events yearly. EDEX brings together over 200+ top local and overseas universities/institutes and a student population exceeding 20,000.
For the first time in history, ISIC ties up with EDEX to offer 500 international student identity cards free to local students and more cards at a concessionary rate, opening up a variety of discounts and benefits from reputed local and international vendors.
