The Sri Lanka Convention Bureau (SLCB), an institution under the
Ministry of Economic Development conducted its annual training program
for the meetings industry for the 8th consecutive year in which a
comprehensive residential program was carried out by two Singaporeans
who arrived on the invitation of SLCB.
The residential session took place at Ramada Resort in Wadduwa.
SriLankan Airlines brought the trainers down from Singapore.
Eunice Chua and Aldric Tan are not only trainers in meetings,
conferences and incentive travel but also practitioners in their
respective companies that are prominent PCOs and DMCs in Singapore.
GM Continental Hotel Upul Gamage also joined the panel during the
sessions.
"The residential program consisted of wide ranging practical areas in
handling incentive travel and conferences and this was a useful exercise
for the 40 member industry participation representing hotels, PCOs, DMCs,
and Event Managers" said GM Convention Bureau Vipula Wanigasekera. " At
a time we are looking at up market tourism into the country, it is
necessary that service standards are either on par or above
international standards with innovativeness being given pride of place
in competing within the region.
Hence our efforts to continue with such programs for the benefit of
the industry" Wanigasekera concluded.
