During his speech, Ambassador Sudantha Ganegama Arachchi indicated to the participants that Sri Lanka Government has taken every measure to improve the security situation and prevent similar incidents in the country and assured that Sri Lanka is a safe destination to travel.   He invited the Swedish companies to work together with the Embassy to promote Sri Lanka tourism. He outlined the future promotion plans which include familiarization tours, digital marketing campaigns, and events in regional cities. 

 

In their remarks, Secretary-General of the Sweden Sri Lanka Business Council, Leif Ohlson and Vice Chairperson of PATA, Lena Skogström highlighted as to why Sri Lanka is a unique travel destination for Swedes who annually look for new travel destinations.

 

Commercial Secretary of the Embassy, Yasoji Gunawardana, presented updated information on Sri Lanka tourism and invited the renowned Swedish travel writer, Christian Muda to share his recent travel experiences in Sri Lanka.  He stated Sri Lanka is a safe destination and can offer diverse travel options to the Swedish travelers who seek new experiences.  Country Manager for Emirates also made a presentation about the airline and its facilities.
