Launching the campaign, Sri Lanka Convention Bureau chairman Prema Cooray, who is leading a business delegation, said that the campaign was aimed to create awareness and interest on profile, proximity, and products of Sri Lanka in diversity of locations, among Indian corporates and travel agents.
The offers called Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions (MICE) packages, valid from till September 30, offer three options of meeting at popular seaside destinations such as Negombo and Bentota.
Operative out of Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Goa and Trichy, the two packages (two nights and three days, and three nights and four days) are for a group of 10 persons and are priced between Rs. 8,399 and Rs. 9,699 per person.
Every package includes return economy airfare on SriLankan Airlines, accommodation, bed and breakfast on twin-sharing basis, airport transfers and half-a-day’s conference facilities to conduct a meeting. A discounting booklet is also being provided to tourists taking these packages.
