16 апреля 2009 года одно из таких мероприятий состоялось в посольстве Шри-Ланки совместно с туристической компанией Maldiviana. Более 30 Агентов пришли послушать H.E. посол Шри-Ланки. Во время перерыва на чай все участники смогли отведать лучшие блюда Шри-Ланки, кроме самого лучшего чистого цейлонского чая. Вторая часть семинара была посвящена описанию отелей и рейсов от помощника по содействию туризму Анны Корольковой.
Г-н Удаянга Виратунга поделился с агентами информацией о стране (некоторые аспекты путешествий, таможенные и визовые формальности и сувениры, а также основное историческое наследие и древние города, культура и природа) и ответил на вопросы о будущих планах развития нового экологический проект в Калипитии в ближайшие несколько лет. Во время встречи участники имели возможность увидеть новые изображения Шри-Ланки на большом экране. Лучшие агенты были награждены дипломом и специальными подарками от H.E. посол. После семинара у всех гостей была чашка чая и небольшая беседа в неформальной обстановке с г-ном Удаянгой Виратунгой.
Все участники получили подарки от Посольства, такие как видео и брошюры о Шри-Ланке, а также новый проект Посольства – аудиогид о Шри-Ланке на русском языке.
Мы хотели бы сказать слова благодарности всем турагентам и особенно туроператорам. Надеюсь, что опыт, который они получили во время встречи, и новый аудиогид о Шри-Ланке на русском языке помогут им в их работе по продвижению Шри-Ланки на российском рынке.
