Sri Lanka Tourism creates hallmark at Vakantiebeurs 2017

Sri Lanka tourism yet showed another aspect of its concern to boost the tourism sector, by participating in the Vakantiebeurs 2017 fair, held in Netherlands recently. 
Sri Lanka Tourism is quite familiar with the Dutch market as it has been participating at this fair for over a decade, and 11 industry members participated in this year’s delegation from Sri Lanka. 
The fair was held from Jan 10th to 15th in Jaarberus, Utrecht. The opening ceremony of the Sri Lanka stall was held on January 10th in parallel to the lavish and colourful opening ceremony of the fair itself. A.M. J Sadiq, Ambassador for Sri Lanka in Netherlands graced the occasion, and at the same time added more value to the occasion by the visit of the mayor of Utretcht, J.H.C Vanzenen. He also lighted the traditional oil lamp amidst a distinguished gathering, and was also shown a short promotional video of Sri Lanka. 
The Sri Lanka stand, as usual, showcased its creativity by adding a vibrant, colourful atmosphere, which attracted the visitors and also displayed it’s iconic 8 themes, Pristine, Essence, Heritage, Wild, Thrills, Heritage, Festivals and Bliss. The innovative concept of displaying pictures of these themes made the Dutch visitors get a very positive impression and the positive valuable benefits of Sri Lanka and its natural resources. 
By participating at the   Vakantiebeurs 2017 fair, the main objective of Sri Lanka Tourism was to showcase Sri Lanka as a desirable and a memorable destination to the Dutch travellers who visit this fair to decide on their future holidays, especially those who like to have some adventure and an amazing experience.
