Tourism staff heads roll
View(s):A number of transfers have taken place within the course of last week in a number of positions at both state tourism bodies – the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau and the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA).
At the SLTPB, a key position of Director Marketing has been swapped with that of Director PR; and at the SLTDA the HR, Quality Standards and Quality Assurance and Resorts heads have been changed among the three positions.
Officials at the bureau and board believe that at a time when there are a number of issues taking place including a key promotional campaign there needs to be a procedure followed in handling these matters. Moreover, the industry is also concerned as to how this could impact on the future of their work which is currently going through a crisis period.
