Seven leading French Travel agents arrived in Sri Lanka on Saturday for an eight-night, nine-day tour to experience all that Sri Lanka has to offer.
During their stay they will be visiting tourism hotspots such Kandy, Passikudah, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa while also exploring lesser-known destinations such as Mandaramnuwara, Galoya and Inginiyagala.
The familiarisation tour is organised by leading destination management company Connaissance De Ceylan Ltd. and Theme Resorts and Spas Ltd., its hotel arm, in partnership with SriLankan Airlines and Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau.
“In order for the country’s economy to bounce back and to have a steady flow of much needed forex, we should relook at reviving the tourism industry of the country to its former glory. Whatever the domestic issues, tourism industry stakeholders should be facilitated to make a quick comeback,” said Connaissance and Theme Resorts Chairman Chandra Wickramasinghe who was at the airport with his team to welcome the group.
