The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Stockholm, in partnership with LOT Polish Airlines, organised a tourism promotional event on 14 November at Asia House in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau sponsored this event, which was the first in a series of tourism promotional events planned for Denmark.

The purpose of the event was to brief Danish tour operators on the positive developments in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry and to mark the inaugural flight of LOT Polish Airlines to Sri Lanka. Offering competitive airfares and minimum transit times, LOT Polish Airlines operates direct flights between Europe and Sri Lanka during the winter season.

The event was well-attended by travel agents, travel bloggers and writers from Denmark. In his remarks, Ambassador Ganegama Arachchi stated that Sri Lanka was a safe and attractive travel destination. He further explained how the Government improved the security situation and created favourable conditions, enabling the Sri Lankan tourism industry to recover from the Easter Sunday attacks. He invited the Danish travel trade to take advantage of direct flights from Warsaw to Colombo by attracting more Danish travellers to Sri Lanka.

Senior Sales Specialist of LOT Polish Airlines for Denmark, Bente Thomsen, made a presentation about the airline and its services to its clients. Embassy Commercial Secretary Yasoji Gunawardana made a presentation highlighting a wide range of authentic and diverse travel experiences available to visitors to Sri Lanka.
