Special
offer to woo Japanese tourists to Lanka
Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau has joined SriLankan
Airlines in presenting the country as an attractive
destination for Japanese visitors.
This promotion takes place in the wake of the relaxation of
the travel advisory against Sri Lanka by the Japanese
Government in recent times. The special offer,
activated from February to June 2009, will bring together
SriLankan Airlines offering a special rate for air passage,
as part of the promotion. Endorsed by officials of the
Japanese market, several travel itineraries have also
been finalised in coordination with Sri Lankan Airlines.
A series of feature articles in print and electronic
media will also add value to the promotion and create
further awareness about Sri Lanka and what it can offer.
The Japanese traveller has always found Sri Lanka’s
Ayurrveda, tea, World Heritage Sites, wild life, and
beaches unique and attractive, and with the recent relaxation
of the travel advisory and the special promotional packages
on offer, a heightened interest in travel to Sri Lanka
is predicted.
