SriLankan one-for-five offer to the Far East

SriLankan Holidays is giving a free holiday for every group of five travelling to the Far East, spicing up its popular 'Mega 999' holiday packages.

"Any group of five persons booking their holiday together will only pay the fare for four adults, with the fifth holidaymaker travelling for free," General Manager - SriLankan Holidays, Amith Sumanapala, said in a press statement. The offer will be valid through October and November to SriLankan Holidays' top five Far East destinations - Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kula Lumpur, Beijing and Singapore.

Apart from the popular attractions, fun activates and shopping opportunities, the Far East comes alive during October and November with annual religious and cultural festivals. "The Far East is always exciting and has something to keep everyone thrilled," says Sumanapala. Holiday packages include airfare with all taxes, 2 nights and 3 days, shared hotel accommodation with breakfast and return airport transfers.

Meanwhile, coping with the demand for leisure travel, SriLankan Holidays also widened its sales and distribution channel, spanning all SriLankan Airlines offices and partner travel agents.

Partner agents have the advantage of the Internet based TradeNet system, which allows travel agents the flexibility to make real time speedy quotations, book or amend hotel reservations, tailor-make holiday packages, arrange airport transfers and also communicate direct with SriLankan Holidays in real time.
