SriLankan boosts Chinese tourism to Sri Lanka

SriLankan Airlines is carrying out a series of promotional activities to increase the number of Chinese tourist arrivals into the Indian Ocean island, and promote close ties between the two countries.

The national carrier has in recent months launched several tour packages tailor-made for the Chinese market. The airline’s ‘Ayubowan Sri Lanka’ and ‘Treasures of Sri Lanka’ packages were heavily marketed in China this year, with a number of key incentives being provided to the Chinese travel trade to promote them.

Head of Worldwide Sales at SriLankan, Mohamed Fazee said, “The centuries-old relationship between Sri Lanka and China has never been stronger than it is today, and SriLankan Airlines is aggressively promoting Chinese tourists to Sri Lanka and is working closely with the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotions Bureau.
