A 15-member travel agent group from FTI Touristik, world renowned tour operator based in Europe, arrived in Sri Lanka on Saturday (9 Dec) by UL554 from Frankfurt for a week’s familiarisation tour.
These high-end travel agents have visited the country for the first time, hosted by HOT House of Travels Ltd.
The group will cover strategic locations in the paradise island visiting Dambulla, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Galle, Bentota and Colombo.
HOT House of Travels Ltd. Chairman Nalin Malwenna said that 14 December, the final day, is scheduled to be a fellowship with the hotel industry representatives to promote their properties to FTI travel agents followed by a media briefing held at 7Degrees Restaurant Colombo 5.
“FTI plans to actively engage in promoting Sri Lanka in Europe for high end tourists as the local citizens demand for tourists who spend. Thus FTI will support self-drive holidays, beach holidays, individual tours, long-haul tours, package, and modular services,” said HOT Tourism Director Biz Development and former Regional Head FTI Paul Hiemo. The group will leave the country on 15 December.
