Expolanka’sClassic Travel exceeds 50,000 plus fans on Facebook

Setting high standards in the travel industry, Classic Travel yet again completes a proud milestone by reaching 50, 000 plus fans on their official Facebook page.   Classic Travel thrives on customer satisfaction and as a result of their social media page on Facebook, customers and fans alike are always updated with information, tour packages, healthy discounts, and competitions.

“Surpassing 50, 000 plus fans on our Facebook page is an exceptional feeling, Classic Travel is humbled by this achievement and we wish to thank our fans, customers, partners and clients for their loyalty and continuous support. We are looking forward to a great year ahead with many promotions and give a ways and we are confident that our Facebook page will continue to grow and help enthusiastic travellers with adequate information that they so deserve,” said Classic Travel CEO Suresh Mendis.

Whilst looking forward to reaching 100, 000 fans as our next milestone, Classic Travel embarks as one of Sri Lanka’s leading travel companions to date. Facebook has provided Classic Travel to become a voice for travel enthusiasts around the world and with the internet being the core portal for information, the company executed a plan to create a Facebook page which was launched in May 2011. It has thus become a mainstay as daily updates on new tour packages, cruises and flight packages draw the attention of thousands within the group’s page.

Among the updates, the page also offers the avid traveller with news, views, opinions, competitions and other interesting posts. Classic Travel interacts with the fans almost spontaneously, by answering their many queries, chatting with their fans and also providing travel information when required. Special posts are made during the festive season together with seasonal discounts and other benefits.

Classic Travel has conducted many competitions within its page and some noteworthy mentions are the raffle draw competition for a return air ticket to Bangkok, the Mother’s Day competition for a return air ticket to Chennai and the like and share Facebook promotion for a return air ticket to Bangkok.

The page currently offers its readers a ‘999 places to see while you are alive’ post, which features a country everyday so the keen traveller could find an abundance of information when they plan their next family vacation.

Speaking about Facebook posts, Senior Manager Operations Rimzan Hameed added: “Our intention of providing information about travel destinations through ‘999 places to see while you are alive’ has been welcomed by our Facebook fans and we are sincerely thankful for their patronage. We engage them in our page by interacting, questioning and by posting very interesting travel quotes rather than boring them with regular advertisements.”
