Sri Lanka Tourism‘s International Travel Blogger & Journalist Program to support SME’s
April, 7, 2021
The “Visiting Travel Blogger and Journalist Programme” is an annual project which Sri Lanka Tourism hosts in order to diversify and spread the visitation of foreign travelers visiting the country and also generate income for Micro, Small and Medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Sri Lanka. Over time, the consistent pattern of international travelers has been limited to areas like Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, and Yala. However, through the visiting blogger and journalist programs, interest has been created to popularize the lesser known attractions such as the Jaffna Peninsula, Pidurangala, Wilpattu, Riverstone-Matale, Seelogama – Belihuloya, Bandarawela, Monaragala, Maligathenna-Gampaha, Ridi Viharaya- Kurunegala, Diyaluma Falls, Kondagala-Kandy and Tangalle in Sri Lanka. Thus, more experience driven opportunities and diversity will be created and added to a visitor’s expedition in Sri Lanka.
