Their experience left them thoroughly impressed with the abundant travel and holiday opportunities that Sri Lanka offers, prompting them to spread the positive message to their compatriots back home.
Spain has emerged as one of the fastest recovering markets for Sri Lanka’s tourism industry post-pandemic. Recognizing this trend, Sri Lanka Tourism strategically focused on the Spanish market, capitalizing on its increasing popularity among Spanish travelers. The successful social media influencer FAM (Familiarization) Trip was organized as part of Sri Lanka’s comprehensive strategy to position the country as a preferred destination within the Spanish market.
With Spain included among the top 12 markets for Sri Lanka in April, the potential for attracting more tourists from this region is significant. By creating awareness of Sri Lanka’s unique travel experiences and promoting its unmatched beauty, the country has the opportunity to attract an influx of enthusiastic Spanish travelers.
Looking ahead, Sri Lanka Tourism has exciting plans in the pipeline for the Spanish market, including a forthcoming Travel Agent familiarization trip. These initiatives aim to foster stronger ties with the Spanish travel industry and further enhance the recognition of Sri Lanka as a must-visit destination.
Collaborating with esteemed tourism stakeholders such as Aitken Spence Travels and luxurious hotels, Sri Lanka Tourism has successfully organized these promotional activities to showcase the country’s diverse offerings.
