This makes India one of the top 5 tourists’ arrival market in Sri Lanka. To ensure the steady growth in 2018, these Roadshows will focus on building relationship with these emerging markets and build a connect between the Travel Agents, Tour Operators of these Tier 2 cities with the DMCs, Hospitality segment and Airlines of Sri Lanka.
