The
leading Iranian travel agents endeavour to position Sri Lanka in the tourism
generating markets as a preferred tourism destination to promote various
Sri Lankan products and to increase Sri Lanka’s share of the global tourism
market.
Under
above objectives, Iranian representatives visited Laksala at Thummulla today
(21st) to find out handcraft products available for Iranians. In their opinion
Laksala will be one of shopping centres for those who visit Sri Lanka from
Iran in future.
Sri
Lankan authorities undertook a series of promotional initiatives to minimize
the negative impact of the Easter Sunday disaster and to promote tourism to Sri Lanka. As a government entity Laksala
also produced an awareness campaign through its social media on
the theme “ Promoting Tourism”. A
cultural event "Heritage to Future" was organized by Laksala last month to promote tourism too.
