The Korea-Sri Lanka Travel & Tourism Club was launched at the
Millennium Hilton Hotel in Seoul on 14th February 2014. The club was
created to enhance the cultural and economic relationship between Sri
Lanka and South Korea. One of its main goals is to promote tourism, a
core area of growth for Sri Lanka-Korea relations.
The chief guest of the event, Hon. Basil Rajapaksa, Minister of
Economic Development met with more than 100 Korean and Sri Lankan
members of the club who were present at the launch ceremony. Minister of
Environment and Renewable Energy Hon. Susil Premajayatha also attended
the event.
During the event, Minister Rajapaksa further expressed his sincere
appreciation to the organizers and members of the tourism club for
leading the launch, promoting tourism and cultural relations between Sri
Lanka and South Korea and initiating the campaign to increase awareness
of Sri Lanka as a popular destination for Korean tourists. Sri Lanka is
already being vigorously promoted in Korea’s main markets, particularly
through a series of promotional campaigns that will be presented
throughout the year. This club will provide the additional boost for the
tourism campaigns.
