Singapore Airlines (SIA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB) recently, reaffirming SIA’s commitment to support efforts to boost tourism in the country.
This MoU leverages SIA’s extensive route network, connecting customers from other countries to Sri Lanka. Under the agreement, SIA and SLTPB will conduct joint activities to boost the tourism industry in Sri Lanka. This includes media and agent familiarisation tours initially targeting main source markets to Sri Lanka via SIA, such as Australia and Singapore.
