Sri Lanka Tourism in collaboration with tourism industry stakeholders, Sri Lankan Airlines and the Sri Lankan Embassy in Thailand arranged a familiarization tour of Sri Lanka for 10 key travel agents from Thailand, a media release stated. The tour was arranged to coincide with the Kandy Esala Perehara, in line with SLTPB’s strategy of promoting local events globally. The group was in Sri Lanka from August 10-17 and covered key tourist attractions including the cultural triangle.
A key highlight of the familiarization tour was the participation of over 50 local travel agents/hoteliers at the B2B networking session arranged by Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB). ”There was good support from the industry for this fam. Thailand is considered as a potential market for Sri Lanka not only for Buddhism related activities but also for wild life, heritage and exploring of other scenic beauty of the country,” said Chami Lanka Gasnawage, Assistant Director of SLTPB.
