Sri Lanka Tourism has signed an agreement with Emirates to promote Sri Lanka as an ideal destination to travelers.

The agreement was signed during an event attended by Sri Lankan Tourism Minister Harin Fernando and Emirates Chief Commercial Officer Adnan Kazim in Dubai.

The agreement will see Emirates promote Sri Lanka through its global network.

The ATM is one of the foremost travel and tourism summits in the world, and it is expected to attract over 20,000 visitors from over 150 countries.

Sri Lanka Tourism had a successful participation at the ATM, and it was able to generate significant interest from potential tourists. The Tourism Ministry stated that the authorities were able to host a special press conference in which journalists representing many foreign media participated.

The Tourism Ministry is confident that the partnership with Emirates and the participation at the ATM will help Sri Lanka attract more tourists in the coming years. The ministry is committed to promoting Sri Lanka as an ideal destination to travelers, and it is confident that the country will continue to grow as a major tourism destination. (NewsWire)
