Those in attendance were introduced to the newest developments and attractions around Sri lanka.”
The familiarisation tour provided the group from India an opportunity to experience Sri Lanka in all its grandeur and authenticity, whilst solidifying Sri Lanka as not only a beautiful destination, but also a safe and stable one.
Concluding, Lokuhetty noted:
“The fam tour gave us the opportunity to educate foreign travel agents and media personnel on the stability of the country, giving international outlets and agents the confidence to promote Sri Lanka to their clientele and viewers.
