Walkers Tours to support advocacy in Sri Lanka travel industry with Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts

The Cinnamon Future of Tourism Summit, a forum organised by Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts to help spearhead the growth of Sri Lanka’s travel industry, concluded its second edition this September. As a key partner of the summit, Walkers Tours, the official Inbound Travel Partner of the event, provided the global travel specialists and delegates who were featured at this year’s conference, with an insightful tour of the island, which enabled them to gain a broader understanding of Sri Lanka’s rich and diverse natural, historical and cultural heritage.

Exploring the island’s most iconic sites, the tour provided the multi-national experts more than a glimpse into the diversity of Sri Lanka in a four-day tour that explored the vast array of attractions Sri Lanka has to offer. Walkers Tours enabled the travel specialists to gain a wider perspective of the authenticity of Sri Lanka, highlighting how the island is fast becoming a captivating and contemporary travel destination. 

Commenting on Walkers Tours’ collaboration for the Future of Tourism Summit, John Keells Holdings Executive Vice President Vasantha Leelananda said: “We are truly delighted to have served as the official Inbound Travel Partner, and work with Cinnamon to offer this team an experiential tour of Sri Lanka, capturing the diverse and unique aspects of what we have to offer as a destination with some of the most experienced and knowledgeable teams in the industry. We take pride in our capability to help people explore and discover this gem of an island through the vast portfolio of products we have to offer.”
