Tuesday 21 August, Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau will officially open the Travel Industry Exhibition in a cultural celebration of traditional dance, music and authentic Sri Lankan food. 
Launching the two-day exhibition, the media event will include a number of special guest speakers from both Sri Lanka and Australia who will highlight the hidden secrets of Sri Lanka and showcase the country’s unparalleled diversity – from its array of golden beaches to its rare unique wildlife, breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
