Focusing on promoting MICE segments, destination wedding, religious tourism and film tourism, SLTPB gave more prominence to pilgrimage tourism which is quite popular among Indian devotees and tourists. Sri Lanka has seen an increase in Indian tourists who have the choice of everything from hill country accommodation to coastal places such as The River House, which is a popular Bentota beach resort. Visitors also had the chance to get more information on holiday experiences available in the island and cultural diversity, Ayurveda are some of the main attractions Indians find exciting.
