Emirates gives Sri Lankan tourism recovery a helping hand
Emirates inked a MoU with Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau to help revive the country’s trade and tourism industry.
The MoU was signed by Ahmed Khoory, Emirates’ Senior Vice President, Commercial West Asia & Indian Ocean, and Kimarli Fernando, Chairperson of Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau.
Ahmed Khoory, SVP Commercial West Asia & Indian Ocean at Emirates, said: “Sri Lanka remains a very key market in Emirates’ global network. We launched operations to Colombo more than 35 years ago, and our partnership continues to grow. We look forward to exploring mutually beneficial initiatives that will help revive the nation’s tourism sector.”
Under the agreement, Emirates and Sri Lanka Tourism will benefit from joint activities including trade shows, Fam trips, exhibitions, and workshops.
Since Sri Lanka reopened to international tourists in February 2021, Emirates has carried more than 80,000 passengers to Colombo.
The top inbound markets include UAE, Italy, UK and Germany.
The airline currently operates 28 weekly flights to Colombo and is the only international carrier to serve the country with First Class service.
