chairman of Sri Lanka Tourism.
The high quality coffee table book -Refreshingly Sri Lanka- with 250 pages carries over 160 exclusive photographs supporting a comprehensive text of over 30,000 words describing almost every key tourism attraction in the country, Dr Godahewa said.
The book covers the eight product categories of Sri Lanka tourism namely beaches, wildlife, heritage, Ayurveda, sports, scenic beauty, festivals and essence. The book is illustrated with tantalizing pictures by Dilum Alagiyawanna, a Canon brand ambassador who works as a strategic partner for Canon Singapore in Sri Lanka and Maldives.
Hiran Coorey former Chairman of PATA – Pacific Asia Travel Association and currently the Chairman of Jetwing Group, the keynote speaker at the Colombo event which saw the who’s who’s of corporate Sri Lanka participating, said the book fulfills a long felt need to clearly communicate Sri Lanka’s tourism value proposition to the rest of the world. “We all know why Sri Lanka is special as a tourism destination. But very few have explained it as clearly as Dr. Godahewa and Dilum,” noted.
Mr. Cooray.
