At the event SLAITO signed a MoU with the SLTPB to strengthen engagement and to allow further development of the tourism industry. Speaking at the event Tourism Development, Wildlife and Christian Religious Affairs Minister John Amaratunga applauded the determination shown by the tourism industry.

“Our tourism industry is very resilient, we have faced similar situations in the past and come back even stronger, it will be no different this time too. The mid to long term effects are not as bad as we anticipated,” the Minister said, whilst commending intensive promotional approach which the industry has taken by providing attractive packages to tourists.
