Sri Lanka showcases resilience at WTM

Sri Lanka tourism showcased its resilient recovery and displayed a strong messaging that the country is back in business at the world’s largest travel fair in London, WTM 2019, being held from 4 to 6 November. Positioned as a Premier Partner of the 2019 World Travel Market, a status secured through the investment of an estimated £ 250,000 (over Rs. 60 million), Sri Lanka’s fresh push at the three-day influential industry and consumer event was emphatic. Traditional dancers and artistes heralded the opening of the 2019 WTM by Sri Lanka, with Tourism Minister John Amaratunga and High Commissioner of Sri Lanka to the United Kingdom Manisha Gunasekera officiating along with WTM executives. Marking its 40th anniversary, WTM is set to draw over 50,000 trade and industry visitors
