Inline with the recent developments & high demand to Sri Lanka in terms of inbound tourism in both Leisure & MICE travel I was travailing around the world for new business developments & public relations. It was challenging task with lots of responsibilities with sharp deadlines.
In the month of February I started from Israe for IMTM 2012 & on the same month I visited India covering Mumbai & Delhi for OTM 2012 which was very successful visits in terms of Inbound business & both are International Travel Trade exhibitions.
Again in the month of March I visited Abu Dhabi for a MICE Tourism Trade fair GIBTM 2012 & it was full of international participation.
In the month of June I visited South Korea to Attend KOTFA 2012 a Travel trade exhibition in Seoul, S'Korea is still a new territory for Sri Lankan inbound tourism but with Great potential & investments from both governments for the betterment of economic development.
Thailand & Singapore again are very potential markets in terms if inbound to Sri Lanka & I visited in the month of July to establish relationships with business partners in both countries & the visit was a success.
Malaysia is another lucrative destination which I visited in the month of August with preset appointments with Local outbound DMCs to discuss mutually benefiting business opportunities.
All in all the experience is highly valuable & helped me to improve my professional personality as well as knowledge to face challenges with utter confidence.
Thank You !!
