Reaching an important milestone of promoting the destination across the globe, Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau, in collaboration with Airport Aviation Services and SriLankan Airlines, welcomed the one millionth tourist arrival to Sri Lanka on Saturday.
The lucky couple to complete this much anticipated visit of the year was Paul and Patricia Roe from Ireland who travelled to Sri Lanka via UL 504 from London. Being solo travelers, this is considered as their first visit to Sri Lanka. They will be touring Sri Lanka for three weeks starting from Trincomalee. A special celebration was arranged in this regard, and they were warmly welcomed upon their arrival by officials of the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau, including Director PR Madubhani Perera, and Deputy Director Tourism Information Centre Harindra Wijewardene.
