The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Stockholm, in partnership with
LOT Polish Airlines, organized a tourism promotional event on 14 November at
Asia House in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau sponsored this event,
which was the first in a series of tourism promotional events planned for
Denmark.
The purpose of the event was to brief Danish tour operators on the positive
developments in Sri Lankas tourism industry and to mark the inaugural flight
of LOT Polish Airlines to Sri Lanka. Offering competitive airfares and minimum
transit times, LOT Polish Airlines operates direct flights between Europe and
Sri Lanka during the winter season.
The event was well-attended by travel agents, travel
bloggers and writers from Denmark. In his remarks, Ambassador Ganegama Arachchi
stated that Sri Lanka was a safe and attractive travel destination. He further
explained how the Government improved the security situation and created
favourable conditions, enabling the Sri Lankan tourism industry to recover from
the Easter Sunday attacks. He invited the Danish travel trade to take advantage
of direct flights from Warsaw to Colombo by attracting more Danish travellers
to Sri Lanka.
Senior Sales Specialist of LOT Polish Airlines for Denmark, Bente Thomsen, made
a presentation about the airline and its services to its clients. Embassy
Commercial Secretary Yasoji Gunawardana made a presentation highlighting a wide
range of authentic and diverse travel experiences available to visitors to Sri
Lanka.
