Workshop with “Spectrum” travel company for agents
05 November, 2009
A number of workshops devoted to Sri Lanka took place in November 2009 for Moscow Travel Agencies with the participation of H.E. Udayanga Weeratunga, the Ambassador of Sri Lanka in the Russian Federation. One of those meetings was held by a diversified tour operator “SPECTRUM” for its agencies chain on 05th of November. More than 45 agents participated there. The events took place in a nice restaurant “Fokkacha” not far from the Pushkin square.
Though the winter season 2009-2010 SPECTRUM has started selling Sri Lanka for the first time, the number of tourist was immense.
The Ambassador H.E. Udayanga Weeratunga delivered a speech about the country, customs formalities, and souvenirs as well as the main historical heritage and ancient cities, culture and nature together with the main itinerary.
At the end of workshops a small lottery took place and some lucky representatives got prizes, such as a new Embassy’s project – audio guide about Sri Lanka in Russian Language, Historical Guide Book about Sri Lanka, Tea, Ayurveda oil, Spices.
We would like to say words of thanks to all travel agents and tour operators especially. Hope that the experience which they got during the meeting and the new audio guide about Sri Lanka in Russian Language will help them in their work for promoting Sri Lanka on the Russian Market.
