The Cinnamon Future of Tourism Summit, a forum organised by Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts to help spearhead the growth of Sri Lanka’s travel industry, concluded its second edition this September. As a key partner of the summit, Walkers Tours, the official Inbound Travel Partner of the event, provided the global travel specialists and delegates who were featured at this year’s conference, with an insightful tour of the island, which enabled them to gain a broader understanding of Sri Lanka’s rich and diverse natural, historical and cultural heritage.
Exploring the island’s most iconic sites, the tour provided the multi-national experts more than a glimpse into the diversity of Sri Lanka in a four-day tour that explored the vast array of attractions Sri Lanka has to offer. Walkers Tours enabled the travel specialists to gain a wider perspective of the authenticity of Sri Lanka, highlighting how the island is fast becoming a captivating and contemporary travel destination.
