The events were followed by B2B meetings between Sri Lankan travel and tour operators and their Polish counterparts.
The purpose of the roadshows was to highlight the variety of opportunities for tourism in Sri Lanka. It was also a chance to bring travel and tour operators from Sri Lanka and Poland together and encourage them to work towards the goal of enhancing tourism exchanges.
The Sri Lanka Tourism Roadshows are practical initiatives to strengthen bilateral cooperation in tourism and hospitality sector. During the last few years, the number of Polish nationals traveling to Sri Lanka for tourism and business has increased. At present, the interest and awareness on Sri Lanka continues to grow among people of Poland.
