Sri Lanka Tourism ramped up efforts to attract Indian travellers through various initiatives. A key event was a networking cruise on the Ganges in Kolkata on July 10, 2024, where industry leaders and a Sri Lankan delegation, including the Sri Lanka Convention Bureau (SLCB) and the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB), promoted the country’s diverse attractions.

Representatives from 30 Destination Management Companies, and leading hotels, such as the Avani Kalutara Resort, a well renowned Kalutara resort, and other service providers showcased the quality of Sri Lanka’s tourism offerings.
