Top dealers of the India headquartered decorative coatings giant Asian Paints (Lanka) Limited, were taken on all-expenses-paid holidays to Germany, China and Dubai this year, giving them an opportunity to experience some of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.

The company took 26 top dealers on a six-day tour to Munich and Berlin, another 130 to Dubai and 60 top dealers on a tour of Shanghai, to reward them for their contribution towards the company’s sales.

The tour to Munich and Berlin included visits to Upper Bavaria and Oberammergau, sight-seeing in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a visit to the Neuschwanstein Castle and the Dachau concentration camp, the first of the Nazi concentration camps opened in Germany, and many other popular sites in the two cities.

The four-day tour of Dubai included a desert safari, a city tour and visits to some of Dubai’s biggest tourist attractions including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, the fountain show, shopping at the Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest shopping malls, and at the Deira City Centre.

Among the highlights of the Shanghai tour were visits to Zhujiajiao water village, an ancient water town and the best-preserved among the four ancient towns in Shanghai, a city tour of Shanghai, visit to a Pearl factory and a tea centre.

The dealers were also treated to a breath-taking acrobatics show by one of China’s world class acrobatic troupes.

“Each year, we add new destinations to this annual all-expenses paid trip scheme to give a diverse experience to the top dealers who support us,” said Joseph L. Pulikottil, Asian Paints (Lanka) Limited Director/General Manager. “The destinations, excursions and accommodation facilities are carefully selected to provide a comfortable and quality experience to our guests.” The company organised a gala dinner during each trip, at which dealers were briefed on new products, campaigns and sales targets.

Asian Paints’ top dealers have in previous years toured India, Thailand, Malaysia, Dubai, New Zealand, Australia, France, Spain, Egypt, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Italy.
